How to Implement Real-Time Background Color Changes for User Profiles using the .NET MAUI Color Picker?

This article demonstrates how to implement real-time background color personalization for user profiles using the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Color Picker in a .NET MAUI application. You can select a color and instantly apply it to an avatar’s background, ideal for account setup screens or profile customization.

• The interface consists of a grid layout containing two primary components: an avatar view (SfAvatarView) and a color picker control.

• The avatar is displayed as a circular profile icon, styled with properties such as CornerRadius, Stroke, and AvatarCharacter and is positioned at the top of the layout.

• Below the avatar, the SfColorPicker is configured with an event handler that triggers when the selected color changes.

XAML:

<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:inputs="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Inputs;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Inputs"
             xmlns:sfavatar="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Core;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Core"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ColorPickerSample"
             x:Class="ColorPickerSample.MainPage">


    <<Grid RowDefinitions="50,150" Margin="80">

        <sfavatar:SfAvatarView x:Name="avatar" Grid.Row="0" ContentType="AvatarCharacter"
                               AvatarCharacter="Avatar29" CornerRadius="60"
                               WidthRequest="120" HeightRequest="120" 
                               Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1">
        </sfavatar:SfAvatarView>
    
        <inputs:SfColorPicker x:Name="colorPicker" Grid.Row="1" ColorChanged="PaletteColorChanged"/>
    
    </Grid>

</ContentPage>

The ColorChanged event of the color picker is used to detect when a new color is selected. The selected color is retrieved and immediately applied to the avatar’s background. This creates a responsive and interactive experience, allowing the avatar’s appearance to update in real time based on user input.

C#:

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void PaletteColorChanged(object sender, Syncfusion.Maui.Inputs.ColorChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        avatar.Background = e.NewColor;
    }
}
