In order to use the control, you need to call the UseSimpleToolkit() extension method in your MauiProgram.cs file:
builder.UseSimpleToolkit();Thanks to the Icon control, you are able to display a tinted image:
<simpleCore:Icon Source="star.png"/>
<simpleCore:Icon Source="star.png" TintColor="Gray"/>
<simpleCore:Icon Source="star.png" TintColor="Orange"/>Output:
The Icon class is inherited from the .NET MAUI Image class, but behind the scenes it is implemented in the same way as .NET MAUI Image only on Android and iOS. WinUI implementation is based on BitmapIcon and FontIcon controls. Because of that, the control supports only these image sources on Windows:
FileImageSourceUriImageSourceFontImageSource
These Image properties are not supported at all:
Aspect- the default behavior isAspectFitIsAnimationPlayingIsLoadingIsOpaque
