What about CROS-1029? Is this once more a CROS item which gets forgotten over time?

The feature request is already queued in our work items. However, it hasn't been completed yet due to work items priorities and urgency.

I'll check with the Crosslight development team regarding the release schedule of CROS-1029. Will get back to you as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, CROS-1029 is not on the fix list of Crosslight 5 Update2. Do you have some information when this issue is on the schedule of the development team?

Thanks,

Thomas

... What is the corresponding item name I can override in a theme for the group_header_background.
Like:
<style name="Theme.Green" parent="Theme.Crosslight.Material.Light">
<item name="group_header_background">@color/group_header_background_green</item>

The corresponding item name is as follow:

<style name="CustomTheme" parent="Theme.Crosslight.Material.Light">
  <item name="groupHeaderBackground">#ff0000</item>
</style>

Hope this helps.

Hello Yudi,

applying the group header background color value in the colors.xml does not improve the app to be more themable. What is the corresponding item name I can override in a theme for the group_header_background.

Like:

Additionally, I need to style the status bar color and the bottom bar color in a theme, too (see attached screenshot). Is this already possible? What are the item names of these parts for overriding in a custom theme?

Thanks,

Thomas

Good day Thomas,

sorry for being impatient, but is CROS-1029 and CROS-1030 already scheduled?

Feel free to ping us at anytime regarding the progress of worklog.

CROS-1030 has been implemented. The hotfix (Crosslight 5.0.5000.559) is now available in NuGet.

You can now specify group header color by adding following snippet code in colors.xml.

<resources>
  ...
  <color name="group_header_color">#ff0000</color>
</resources>

I'll keep you informed as soon as I heard anything from the team regarding CROS-1029.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Styling group header background can be achieved by adding following snippet code in colors.xml.

<resources>
  ...
  <color name="group_header_background">#ff0000</color>
</resources>

Hello Crosslight Support,

I have several questions about the new material UI:

1. How can I programmatically change the drawer icon (hamburger icon)? I tried the following,but it did nothing.

this.DrawerSettings.ActionBarDrawerIcon = Resource.Drawable.ic_bar_done;

2. How can I (programmatically) change the color of the drawer icon? Is there some "tint" I can set?

3. How can I (programmatically) change the color of the list icons (like in the navigation list)? Is there some "tint" I can set? The idea is to have the icons in one color and to set the definite color in code (like icon tint color = Color.Red).

4. Is there some documentation about how to style every part of the app (e.g. background of list group headers)?

5. To me it seems like your current styling method is not theme friendly. In the samples you have a colors.xml to set the app colors. What if I want to switch the current theme of the app at runtime? I have created the following theme in the styles.xml:

primary_green is set in the colors.xml to #4caf50.
primary is set in the colors.xml to #FF00DC.

When I start the app (data drawer samples) and navigate to a list with group headers, then the text color of the group header is #FF00DC, which is the primary color.
To support a theme the colorPrimary of the theme should be used to set the group header color. Otherwise it is not possible to switch the theme at runtime.
Maybe I am getting or doing something wrong.

Thanks for your feeedback.

Thomas
