I am using Material Design Font Icons as my icon source for my project. The trouble is, since it's a font it needs a different color when selected vs. when deselected (as shown - the deselected white ones have white icons, which isn't awesome).
How can I modify the Style
to change the color of the icon like it does the text and background color?
<!-- redacted because it would've never worked -->
Consensus is that using the VSM isn't going to work because it doesn't derive from VisualElement
. I've gotten it to work using a Trigger
- but I'm not happy with the implementation. This works:
<Shell.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<Style TargetType="FlyoutItem" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseStyle}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger TargetType="FlyoutItem" Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Title" Value="Checked" />
<Setter Property="FlyoutIcon" >
<Setter.Value>
<FontImageSource FontFamily="MaterialDesignIconFont"
Glyph="{StaticResource InformationOutlineGlyph}"
Color="White" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Shell.Resources>
<FlyoutItem Title="About" >
<FlyoutItem.Icon>
<FontImageSource FontFamily="MaterialDesignIconFont"
Glyph="{StaticResource InformationOutlineGlyph}"
Color="Green" />
</FlyoutItem.Icon>
<ShellContent Route="AboutPage" ContentTemplate="{DataTemplate local:AboutPage}" />
</FlyoutItem>
... but as you can see, I have to set the entire FontImageSource
value - which has the Glyph
property - so I have to repeat this Style
each time for each FlyoutItem
.
How can I rewrite this Style
to be reusable and only change the color, not the other properties?
Create the Material Design Icons
.
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<Color x:Key="fgColor">#66169C</Color>
<Color x:Key="bgColor">#FFFFFF</Color>
<Color x:Key="OverDueItem">#FF1C07</Color>
<OnPlatform x:Key="Material" x:TypeArguments="x:String">
<On Platform="iOS" Value="Material Design Icons" />
<On Platform="Android" Value="materialdesignicons-webfont.ttf#Material Design Icons" />
</OnPlatform>
<Style x:Key="MaterialIcons" TargetType="{x:Type Label}">
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{DynamicResource Material}" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="100" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalOptions" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="VerticalOptions" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="TextColor" Value="{DynamicResource fgColor}" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="Large" />
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
For more details about the Material Design Icons, you could download from the GitHub. https://github.com/WendyZang/Test/tree/master/MaterialDesignIcons/App2
And then create the style to change the background color when you selected.
<Style x:Key="FloutItemStyle" TargetType="Grid">
<Setter Property="VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups">
<VisualStateGroupList>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
<VisualState x:Name="Selected">
<VisualState.Setters>
<Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="Accent" />
</VisualState.Setters>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateGroupList>
</Setter>
</Style>
Change the Label TextColor with the Triggers
.
<Shell.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid x:Name="grid" Style="{StaticResource FloutItemStyle}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.2*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.8*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Style="{StaticResource MaterialIcons}" Text="">
<Label.Triggers>
<DataTrigger
Binding="{Binding Source={x:Reference grid}, Path=BackgroundColor}"
TargetType="Label"
Value="Accent">
<Setter Property="TextColor" Value="White" />
</DataTrigger>
</Label.Triggers>
</Label>
<Label
Grid.Column="1"
FontAttributes="Italic"
Text="{Binding Title}"
VerticalTextAlignment="Center">
<Label.Triggers>
<DataTrigger
Binding="{Binding Source={x:Reference grid}, Path=BackgroundColor}"
TargetType="Label"
Value="Accent">
<Setter Property="TextColor" Value="White" />
</DataTrigger>
</Label.Triggers>
</Label>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</Shell.ItemTemplate>
