Xamarin Forms Pill Button

How do you declar the Button in Xamarin Forms to be a pill button regardless of the width/height of the button? Is there a way to do this without resorting to native custom renderers? I would like to do this 100% in XAML.
You can specify the BorderRadius property on the Button to round the corners to look like a pill.
It's not possible without custom renderers. But here's a nice article about it: http://www.wintellect.com/devcenter/jprosise/supercharging-xamarin-forms-with-custom-renderers-part-2

What's the best way to do that?
Thanks
I think the best way is write your own code.
1) Create a AppBar.
2) Create a first StackPanel for Menu with Icons(set Orientation to Horizontal)
3) Then Menu Items as Grid's or StackPanel's
4) Add a Grid or StackPanel for slide content.(set visibility to collplased)
5) Handle a Click's events. OnClick Item with Arrow do: "change clicked event style", "set item with slide content Visibility to Visible", "Add Items"

Application bar | Windows phone 7

Is it possible to show application bar in windows phone 7 or higher at the top of application rather than at the bottom and also customizing the application bar. i-e.
Icon1 Icon2 Some text Icon3 Icon4.
No. The application bar supports very little customization.
The only things you cna customize are the number of buttons (up to 4) and the color of the bar.
It is not possible to customize the position of the bar or combine icons and text.
