Too much fun with Xamarin Forms

-
I had a blast playing with Xamarin Forms and SVGs which end up with the following which works on iOS, Android and Windows UWP, checkout the videos for Android and iOS apps:




Credit for original design idea goes to Mikael Ainalem:

The SVG is created dynamically, based on the position of the text-boxes and the button, so it will work on any number of text-boxes and buttons. The actual SVG for the login screen in the videos, looks like this:

As an app developer, it's impossible not to have the task to display an icon in the app. One of the common ways to display icons , instead of using images or SVGs , is by using font files (.ttf, .otf or .woff). Although font files are usually used to display text with a specific font, but they can also be used to display icons . Instead of containing glyphs with letters , they contain glyphs with icons : There are different types of font technologies but the most common ones today are the TrueType (.ttf), OpenType (.otf) or the WOFF (.woff) font files. The way they store and render the glyphs is using a collection of line and curve commands as well as a collection of hint , which allows them to provide both relatively fast drawing speed and true device independence .
