Xamarin Forms transparent element with border
You can set BackgroundColor
to "Transparent" and OutlineColor
to "Gray":
<ContentPage BackgroundImage="some_image.png">
<!-- ... -->
<Frame BackgroundColor="Transparent" OutlineColor="Gray" Opacity="0.7" Padding="1" Margin="10">
<Grid BackgroundColor="White" Opacity="0.7" Margin="20">
<Label Text="..."/>
</Grid>
</Frame>
<!-- ... -->
</ContentPage>

I am using a
Frame
to create a border on various elements (Grid, StackLayout & ContentView) and need to now make the elements transparent; I tried setting the opacity of the Grid etc. but of course theFrame
colour impacts the actual background colour.<ContentPage BackgroundImage="some_image.png"> <!-- ... --> <Frame BackgroundColor="Gray" Opacity="0.7" Padding="1" Margin="10"> <Grid BackgroundColor="White" Opacity="0.7" Margin="20"> <Label Text="..."/> </Grid> </Frame> <!-- ... --> </ContentPage>
The
Grid
is rendered as expected but now the Frame grey background makes the white grid appear grey. Ideally I would like a white transparent Grid with a solid grey border, is this possible in Xamarin?(Im using shared Xamarin forms project targeting iOS & Android)
