How can I configure CoverFlowView to have no space between items?

[sschaub]

I have tried playing with the Margin of my template view and PositionShiftValue of CoverFlowView, following the guidance you gave in #366. However, when I configure these values so that there is no space between the items on one platform / form factor, other form factors have space between or have overlapping images.

Hmm, so if you set Margin = "80, 0" and PositionShiftValue="160" it doesn't work?

Also, I'd propose to set Horizontal and Vertical options to FillAndExpand (for card item views)

Here's what I have:

<cards:CoverFlowView ItemsSource="{Binding FeaturedItems}"
                HeightRequest="100"
                PositionShiftValue="160"
                SelectedIndex="{Binding SlidePosition}"
                Margin="0">
    <cards:CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate x:DataType="vms:FeaturedItemViewModel">
            <forms:CachedImage Source="{Binding ImageUrl}"
                                Margin="80,0"
                                HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                                VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                                Aspect="AspectFit">
            </forms:CachedImage>
        </DataTemplate>
    </cards:CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
</cards:CoverFlowView>

There is a noticeable gap between the items when rendered on some devices.

Can you change cachedImage with BoxView (colored ones) and see if gap goes

Switching to BoxView eliminates the gap. Also, changing the image Aspect="AspectFill" eliminates the gap.

Thanks for the tip!
