How to remove background (to be transparent) and border?
Login Register
You can use style
property and MenuStyle
class (https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/MenuStyle-class.html):
elevation
should be set to 0
(otherwise, with a Color.transparent
, you'll see the widget's shadow).
MenuBar(
style: MenuStyle(
backgroundColor: MaterialStatePropertyAll<Color>(Colors.transparent),
elevation: MaterialStatePropertyAll<double>(0),
shape: MaterialStatePropertyAll<ContinuousRectangleBorder>(ContinuousRectangleBorder())
),
children: ...,
)
Here's a full example. Changing backgroundColor
property of Scaffold
will demonstrate that MenuBar
is effectively transparent, shadowless and with rectangular borders:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return const MaterialApp(
title: 'MenuBar Demo',
home: MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
const MyHomePage({super.key});
@override
State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
backgroundColor: Colors.red,
body: SafeArea(
child: Column(
children: [
Row(
mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: MenuBar(
style: const MenuStyle(
backgroundColor: MaterialStatePropertyAll<Color>(
Colors.transparent),
elevation: MaterialStatePropertyAll<double>(0),
shape: MaterialStatePropertyAll<
ContinuousRectangleBorder>(
ContinuousRectangleBorder())),
children: [
SubmenuButton(menuChildren: [
MenuItemButton(
onPressed: () {},
child: const MenuAcceleratorLabel('Test'))
], child: const MenuAcceleratorLabel('File'))
]),
),
],
),
],
),
),
);
}
}
