Description

Description

I cannot set the color of ToolbarItem in Shell. I have also tried editing styles.xml and cannot seem to find the right properties to set colors.

Expected Behavior

I can set a Style along with all the other Shell styles for color of the label text or icon in the toolbar (android) with the same styling applied to iOS.

Actual Behavior

Nothing I do changes it. HOWEVER the back button behavior text takes a color for some reason. Luck?

Basic Information

  • Version with issue: 4.0-pre9

Screenshots

In this image you can see the TitleView is offset left which is b/c there are 2 toolbar items white on white to the right. They are clickable.
