A Xamarin.Forms library for creating stunning gradient backgrounds with CSS support, masks, and animations.
Magic Gradients is a Xamarin.Forms library for creating and customizing gradient backgrounds in mobile applications. It supports linear and radial gradients, CSS gradient syntax, clipping masks, and animations, allowing developers to design visually appealing backgrounds directly in XAML or C#. The library solves the problem of limited native gradient support in Xamarin.Forms by providing a feature-rich, easy-to-integrate solution.
Xamarin.Forms developers building iOS, Android, or UWP applications who need advanced gradient backgrounds, animations, or CSS-compatible styling.
Developers choose Magic Gradients for its comprehensive feature set, including CSS gradient support, animation system, and clipping masks, which are not available in Xamarin.Forms' native gradient tools. Its integration with SkiaSharp ensures high-performance rendering and visual quality.
Draw breathtaking backgrounds in your Xamarin.Forms application. It's a kind of magic.

Supports standard CSS gradient functions like linear-gradient and radial-gradient, allowing developers to copy-paste from web resources directly into XAML or C#.
Includes built-in timeline, keyframe, and storyboard animations for gradient properties, enabling dynamic backgrounds without external libraries.
Offers rectangle, ellipse, path, and text masks to apply gradients to custom shapes or text, enhancing visual design possibilities.
Provides over 1700 gradient samples from Gradient Magic, speeding up inspiration and implementation with ready-to-use examples.
Limited to the Xamarin.Forms ecosystem, making it unsuitable for .NET MAUI or other cross-platform frameworks without significant migration effort.
The animation system requires understanding complex concepts like timelines, storyboards, and keyframes, which can be overkill for simple gradient effects.
Depends on SkiaSharp for rendering, adding an external dependency that may increase app size and require careful version management.
