Xamarin from how apply magic Gradient with CSS on ToolBar and Status Bar

Hi @ghotekarduryo, GradientView is pure Xamarin.Forms control but toolbar of NavigationPage is native for each platform. Because of that you can't simply use Magic Gradient as a background. However you can play around with TitleView and use Grid with GradientView and some Label as it's content.

Displaying Views in the Navigation Bar

Alternatively you can just hide default toolbar with attached property NavigationPage.HasNavigationBar="false" and create your custom toolbar from Xamarin.Forms controls. That gives you way more flexibility but you have to handle navigation stack, back arrow etc. yourself.

Custom AppBar was planner for Xamarin.Forms but it has been cut, it may appear in XamarinCommunityToolkit. https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/10774
