Customizing the AimMode property #80

Open omateusteles opened 1 month ago

I believe it would be interesting to use the AimMode property without the red dot in the middle of the screen, allowing those who use the library to customize it the way they prefer and still use the functionality that AimMode provides.

Hello. Yes, ti would be nice to have, it's just that it is quite a bit of work, especially to test everything...

And I'm not entirely sure what is the best way to do it, I think there are two approaches:

  1. Do everything native, enable different shapes, sizes and colours. There would be a lot of code to support everything natively and it wouldn't look the same on all platforms.
  2. Implement IContentView to have the ability to add MAUI child controls to CameraView. I think it would be easier to implement but I'm afraid that it would be very had to test and potentially have layout problems

Yes, it would definitely be a lot of work, so I don't believe you should develop this but leave the responsibility to whoever wants to customize the scanner. What I suggested here as an improvement would just be this possibility of hiding the red dot in the middle of the screen so that I could make my own template in AimMode
