https://devlinduldulao.pro/how-to-create-bottom-navigation-bar-in-xamarin-forms/
That's an open source project and the source code is linked at the bottom of page, you can tweak the animation (which i like very much) and use a customrenderer to render the center icon over a circle.
Have a look if that helps you in any way! :)

Xamarin Forms: Single button that opens a dropdown menu

Hi does anybody knows if I can make a button in Xamarin Forms that opens a small dropdown menu? I did this in android studio but I can't find a way how this could work in Xamarin.
It should look like this:
And like this if the button is clicked:
And the Button should not be in the navigation bar because this page don't have one.
So if anybody could help me I would be very grateful and sorry for my bad english.
The closest API in Xamarin that does that is to display a pop-up using DisplayActionSheet, but the dropdown menu will be at the bottom of the screen. Or you can use a Picker (link to documentation).
If you want to implement something that look exactly like the image in your post, you can create a StackLayout that contains a few buttons, and show it when the drop down menu button is clicked.
i think that you can do it not directly but if we let some things be together we can achieve it, you have to add toolbar item for the button and for the menu list it's a popup page that has transparent background and list menu on the top right !

Xamarin.Forms how to change the navigation back button to an image?

I am building an app in Visual studio with crossed platform in Xamarin.Forms.
I have been trying to change the back arrow button in the navigation UI to an image in stead of the arrow, but I haven't found any good examples.
Is there anyone here who can help me?
Back arrow button in navigation bar is default feature. I think it can't be changed. If you want to change it then you should use a custom navigation bar.

How to change the appearance of a button in the ribbon bar?

I have added some new buttons in the ribbon bar of Opportunity entity using ribbon workbench solution.
They are all working fine at the moment, but the only issue is that, I am unable to get any option in the ribbon workbench to change the appearance (back color, fore color, font, font style, size, etc) of the button, and so the button doesn't stand out from rest of the buttons.
Any idea on how to change the appearance of buttons in the ribbon?
I don't believe you can. You are probably best giving it an icon that stands out.
You can change the color scheme or add a logo/icon for customization.

ApplicationBar Icons with text

Is there a way to show text along with the icons permanently rather than when a user clicks the "..."?
Or should I instead just use standard buttons instead of the application bar?
As far as i know there is no way to achieve what you are telling.. the user should click on the "..." to see the menu...

I would say, if you have maxium two buttons to display on the page, you will probably be fine with standard text buttons, like the screenshot below from the windows phone marketplace. However, you probably don't want any icons on them.
Also try putting a rectangle behind the buttons so it looks like an application bar. :)
