    Hello,

    I'm able to have the ActionBar (the one on the bottom of the screen with the switch, home and back buttons) to be hidden with a Transparent (or black, not totally sure) background by doing the following:

    In style.xml I have
    <item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>

    In MainActivity.cs I have added the following

    newUiOptions |= (int)SystemUiFlags.LowProfile;
                newUiOptions |= (int)SystemUiFlags.Fullscreen;
                newUiOptions |= (int)SystemUiFlags.HideNavigation;
                newUiOptions |= (int)SystemUiFlags.Immersive;
                newUiOptions |= (int)SystemUiFlags.ImmersiveSticky;
                Window.DecorView.SystemUiVisibility = (StatusBarVisibility)newUiOptions;

    I do not want the Navigation to be hidden. If I remove few SystemUiFlag so the ActionBar is not hidden anymore then the background stays as default meaning with a bright grey background but I would like it to be with a black background and with grey icons (home, switch, back), any idea?

    1. How do I make the ActionBar (the one with the back, home buttons on the  bottom) with a black background and White (or grey) icons? 

    2. I use a Picker component, but when I select an ItemSource via the UI then the ActionBar is reset and is back to its default (with a Grey background and black icons), I would like it to stay the opposite with a black background and a white/grey icons. Any idea?

    Thank you for your help

    Hi wil70,

    Since this thread is related to Xamarin, so I suggest that you can ask your question in the Xamarin Community Forums to get better support.

    The Visual C# forum discusses and asks questions about the C# programming language, IDE, libraries, samples, and tools.

    Best Regards,
