How do you format the TitleView so that the menubar + left aligned Tab title doesn't look poop in a shell app?

Excellent video. Thank you, as always!

[@jfversluis]

Appreciate it thank you!

I have to say I have seen a lot of your videos and I think they are fantastic quality you are an absolute natural. They're easy to follow and always packed with beneficial information. I do have one suggestion though, I believe it would be extremely helpful if after your light hearted intro, you show us a visual or a quick peak at the end result of whatever you are showing. I think it really helps to know where we are headed before we walk with you to see how to get there. This video is a prime example, show me the menus first. The rainbow debug is another example, I'd prefer to see the ending first and then discover the journey with you.

Thanks for the kind words and the suggestion!

While I appreciate the current functionality that the shells have on Windows, I really really wish there was a more customizable format that accomplished the same thing we could use. When dealing with desktop applications, there is generally customizable Shell UI, similar to the FlyoutHeader and FlyoutFooter that can exist on ALL sides of screen, not just top and left.

What happens when you run this app on iOS or Android? Is it ignored or rendered as a hamburger menu or something?

[@jfversluis]

This is only for desktop. On iOS and android it will indeed be ignored

I f#$%ing hate XAML. Can someone please point me to examples that use C# to create menus in a Mac Catalyst MAUI Blazor app? :)

Hi Gerald, do you make a video about a Roadmap for Xamarin Developers?, Greetings from Mexico.

[@jfversluis]

Hey there, thanks for the suggestion! What kind of video would that be exactly?

[@elianfernandovegamillan8113]

@@jfversluis the frameworks that you consider are mandatory for an expert xamarin/maui developer. I am a junior with one year's experience and I really liked the mobile development branch. I want to master it.

I'm a fan of your content! Could you consider making a short XAML course on KZbin? I've been looking for quality tutorials, and your approach would be awesome for learning XAML

[@jfversluis]

I have been thinking about that recently! What should be included?

"I am not very familiar with XAML. Sometimes, I face this type of error: 'The type 'Element' does not support direct content.' Many people say XAML and HTML are similar, but I feel there is much difference."@@jfversluis

I would be interested in styling certain navigation elements such as the menu bar, tab bat, flyout, etc. @@jfversluis

All .NET MAUI tutorials about MenuBar I've seen in KZbin talks about only on created a menu and sub menu but none exactly showed the code on how to load the page on sub item. 😮😮
