Xamarin logo background against app background - xaml

So I am just trying to get my head round Xamarin and I have set the background of the app to be the same colour as the background of my logo.
For some reason, when I add the logo, it picks up a darker shade of blue when within the app. Do anyone know what might cause this?
<ContentPage.Content>
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="#10ABD9">
<Image x:Name="gymAppLogo" Aspect="AspectFill" Source="GymApplogo.jpg"/>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>

OxyPlot in Xamarin Forms WPF project, how to change tracker text color

I'm using OxyPlot in a Xamarin Forms project.
In WPF, the tracker (popup when I click on a datapoint) has a white background with yellow text, making it impossible to see.
In UWP however, it is just fine with a yellow background and black text.
How can I change the font color of the tracker to black?
xmlns:oxy="clr-namespace:OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms;assembly=OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms"
<oxy:PlotView Model="{Binding MyModel}"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
</oxy:PlotView>
You can change the default colors of Oxyplot Tracker by modifying the Control Template. For example,
<oxy:PlotView Height="500" Width="500" Model="{Binding MyModel}">
<oxy:PlotView.DefaultTrackerTemplate>
<ControlTemplate>
<oxy:TrackerControl Position="{Binding Position}" LineExtents="{Binding PlotModel.PlotArea}">
<oxy:TrackerControl.Background>
<SolidColorBrush Color="LightBlue" />
</oxy:TrackerControl.Background>
<oxy:TrackerControl.Content>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" Margin="7" Foreground="Black" />
</oxy:TrackerControl.Content>
</oxy:TrackerControl>
</ControlTemplate>
</oxy:PlotView.DefaultTrackerTemplate>
</oxy:PlotView>
Of course, you can set the binding as well in the above, but for the sake of example, given the color directly in above example.

Control the height of an image in a scrollview

I would like to achieve the layout shown at the bottom in my app.
I got it sort of working by using the following structure
<ScrollView Orientation="Vertical">
<Grid>
<ScrollView Orientation="Horizontal">
<StackLayout>
<Image>
I currently have the problem that I want to control the image height so that, considering the screen size or screen orientation, there are 2 or 3 rows of images visible.
Things I tried:
setting a HeightRequest on the image. This seems to be ignored, probably because the scrollcontainer creates an "unlimited" canvas to paint on. The image scales up to the actual image size, which is too large.
set a hard value for the height of the Grid.Row. This clips the fullsize image.
I've seen this workaround in the demo of the flexgrid where they seem to get around this by downloading a image that is resized on the fly. But this does not seem like an ultimate fix for me.
blue lines = scrollview
black lines = view
red lines = image
Thx #Nick Kovalsky for telling me that it should work like that. I just found out that the cause seems to lie in the fact that I used a StackLayout around the image (containing the image and the image-label). This was something I left out when posting my original question. When I replaced this StackLayout with a Grid it worked as expected.
Old situation:
<ScrollView Orientation="Vertical">
<Grid>
<ScrollView Orientation="Horizontal">
<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical">
<Image>
<Label>
New situation:
<ScrollView Orientation="Vertical">
<Grid>
<ScrollView Orientation="Horizontal">
<Grid>
<Image>
<Label>

Xamarin Child Frame Overflow On Parent Corner Radius

I have a Xamarin Forms project with a card based interface where each card has a Corner Radius of 1 and padding 0. Within the card, the top element is a Heading control, with margin of 0, consisting of a frame with a background colour and a label within that.
The problem is since the Heading control does not have rounded corners, the corners which meet the corners of the Card will overrun and render outside of the Card which doesn't look right.
Is there any way to tell the Xamarin XAML renderer to appropriately cut off the corners of a child when the parent has rounded corners?
Here's a picture to show what I mean. The green pointed corners are rendered outside of the parent card.
To get the same result with Xamarin.Forms version 3.1.583944 for the background and rounded corners on Android, iOS, and UWP, try this XAML:
<OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="View">
<On Platform="UWP">
<Frame CornerRadius="20" OutlineColor="Black" Padding="0" Margin="12,0" HeightRequest="40">
<StackLayout BackgroundColor="Green">
<Label Text="BackgroundColor in StackLayout" Margin="20,0" />
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
</On>
<On Platform="Android, iOS">
<Frame CornerRadius="20" OutlineColor="Black" BackgroundColor="Green" Padding="0" Margin="12,0" HeightRequest="40">
<StackLayout>
<Label Text="BackgroundColor in Frame" Margin="20,0" />
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
</On>
</OnPlatform>
It seems that neither platform seems to produce the same result, possibly by native platform design (i.e. Android produce background inside the rounded corners in both cases above, iOS produce background inside rounded corners when BackgroundColor is set in Frame, UWP produce background inside rounded corners when BackgroundColor is set in StackLayout).
Please note that there are reported some issues with UWP on Frame CornerRadius.

Draggable Images Xamarin

I am trying to create a user interface where a user can drag an image around the screen atop a background image. Currently the DraggableImage is being moved around with some sliders that change DraggableBounds in the view model.
<AbsoluteLayout>
<Image Source="{Binding DraggableImage, Mode=TwoWay}" AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="{Binding DraggableBounds}" />
<Image Source="{Binding FrameImage, Mode=TwoWay}" Aspect="AspectFit" WidthRequest="1300" HeightRequest="500"/>
</AbsoluteLayout>
I've tried using the Pan Gesture that's on Microsofts Xamarin docs with little success. I'm not trying to pan within an image but move a smaller image over a larger. Is there an existing pattern to solve this?

My ImageCircle is resizing itself in xamarin.forms

I am using ImageCircle plugin for xamarin forms
and it works well sometimes, when the picture is a kind of square...
But, when it's a rectangle, my image is resized and it's not that I planned
what Can I do to the image stop resize?
my code
<controls:CircleImage WidthRequest="75" HeightRequest="75" Grid.Row ="0" Grid.Column="1" Source="cadastrarPhoto.png" x:Name="cadastrar_foto_perfil">
I seted a fix height and width as you can see, but it didn't solve my problem, maybe because this circle image is a child of a grid and its grandfather (lol) is a relative layout but I really don't know if WidthRequest can change because of that...
How it always should be
How it is when the image is a rectangle:
EDIT---------------------------------------------
I put it in a Stach layout and I defined Aspect as fit...it helped but didnt solve...
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="Center" WidthRequest="75" HeightRequest="75" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1">
<controls:CircleImage Aspect="AspectFit" VerticalOptions="EndAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand" Source="cadastrarPhoto.png" x:Name="cadastrar_foto_perfil">
<controls:CircleImage.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="ChamaPickerImage"/>
</controls:CircleImage.GestureRecognizers>
</controls:CircleImage>
</StackLayout>
I changed the api that I was using.
Now I use ffimage
Setting your HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand" is what is causing you issues.
Instead, try setting both HorizontalOptions and VerticalOptions to a vaule that doesn't expand (Start, Center, End)
Note: I've noticed that you actually have to explicitly set HorizontalOptions to something that doesn't expand in order to get iOS to avoid stretching your CircleImage. Simply leaving it blank will default to stretching the image.
In the image, instead of HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand" or VerticalOptions="EndAndExpand", just set it as "Start", "Center" or "End".
By default if you set it as "xxExpand" or do not set it at all, Xamarin iOS expands the image...
