Let's customize the Splash Screen of a MAUI app

Thanks Julian for sharing this article. I find it really useful!

For the transparent background of the image in the <MauiSplashScreen> have you tried? #00FFFFFF

It is just curiosity if the ALPHA HEX works :)

Thanks! It works perfectly! Do you already have a tutorial for iOS?

Hi Julian Ewers-Peters,

I tried the approach with .Net 7 on MAUI to support light and dark mode for splash screen with following steps but it doesn't seem to work as per following:

1. I have set the splash screen as below:

<MauiSplashScreen Include="Resources\Splash\splash.svg"/>

1. The "@color/colorPrimaryDark" for "styles.xml" in both "values" and "values-night" takes the value #1B3147 for bacground color of splash screen and not what I have mentioned in "colors.xml".

2. Here is the configuration of "MainActivity.cs":

[Activity(Theme = "@style/MyTheme", MainLauncher = true, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation | ConfigChanges.KeyboardHidden, ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait)]

So, please let me know what I am missing on my side to make it work. Awaiting you reply.
