Unable to set multiple different colours for unselected tabs on TabbedPage - Android

[Croppo]

Description

When using tabbedPage I have 3 tabs in my tabbed page view.

When given the option to set selected and unselected colours of tabs I cannot find a way to have multiple unselected tabs of varying colours. i.e. an unselected tab thats grey but then another that has a default unselected as red.

Using the screenshots as an example below: When "title 1" is selected it will be blue, then "title 2" should have the default unselected colour of grey, HOWEVER I can not find a way to have "title3" always have a dangerous colour. It should be red when unselected.

It is only on android that this is an issue.

I don't understand this comment. It does work on iOS?
Because the way I read and understand this, this is more a feature request. We don't support setting the selected/unselected color per tab at this point. We only have functionality for the states of selected and unselected.

You might be able to achieve this, but you will have to write custom platform-specific code for it.

Apologies perhaps i have placed this under the wrong tag. You are indeed correct that this is a feature that is currently unsupported.

Regarding writing platform specific code to resolve this are you able to provide any guidance at all on the best way to achieve this?

It might be better to switch to a third-party control for that that already has it like the Syncfusion Toolkit: https://github.com/syncfusion/maui-toolkit they seem to have it.

Otherwise, you're going to have to look into how to write custom handlers/mappers and maybe take some inspiration from our code here. But I'm afraid it is a bit more advanced at this point.

Maybe with a little help of your favorite Copilot you'll be able to!

Good luck!
