ContentPage BackgroundColor broken in .net Maui Release Candidate 3?


In RC1 and RC2 of .net Maui I was able to simply set "BackgroundColor" to "Blue" and that would work. In RC3 it now only displays the default white color each time I run the app for the Windows Machine platform, even if set to Blue.

Is the ContentPage BackgroundColor going to be included in final release of .net Maui?


Solution

    • Update VS Preview - Maui GA was just released. ContentPage BackgroundColor works for me there.
    • Rebuild Solution to be sure it is clean.
    • MAYBE even start a new project, and copy source files over.
    • ALSO, What do you have inside the ContentPage? Try setting background color on one or more of the top-level elements in the page, see if that works. Its possible something changed related to how the content fills the page, so perhaps a next-level-down element is now coloring the entire page with its own background.

    I tested directly with MainPage = new MainPage().

    Question: Did you do MainPage = new YourContentPage();, or is the page displayed within AppShell or a NavigationPage?
