SfBackdropPage Backdrop icons in UWP

Hi.
I'm wondering if there is a way to remove the open close dialogue on the backdrop menu icon in UWP.
It turns the open and close of the backdrop into a two step process and is not the same experience as in IOS or Android.
I'm assuming this is a windows feature but I would like to remove it.

Regards

Phil.

Hi.
Thanks as usual for you quick reply.
I've included a video of the UWP desktop app.
When you launch the page the custom or standard icon is missing and the windows … more icon is the only one visible. When you click this the open close dialogues open lifting the title text.
When you expand the screen the backdrop icon appears and works great but the … is next to it all the time.
If you leave the page and come back the backdrop icon is missing and never comes back with screen sizing.
There is no consistency to when your icon appears but the windows more icon is always there.
I hope this and the video explains what's going on.

Regards
Phil.

Hi.
Finally found it.
Setting the <NavigationPage.TitleView> on the main menu page causes this issue.
I don't use it for the other pages only the main menu, so I can use an icon in the title.
I don't know if there's a way to remove/reset this on the launch of the backdrop pages?
Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Phil.

I don't know if I've explained myself correctly. This has to do with the page that launches the backdrop page.

I've included your demo modified to shows the problem.

I hope you can help.

Hi.

Adding
<ResourceDictionary>
            <Style
                TargetType="uwp:FormsCommandBar">
                <Setter Property="IsOpen" Value="True" />
                <Setter Property="DefaultLabelPosition" Value="Right" />
                <Setter Property="OverflowButtonVisibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
            </Style>
        </ResourceDictionary>

to the UWP's App.xaml helps stop the menu text from dropping and looks better overall. Thanks for that.

However it does not stop Your Backdrop menu icon from disappearing when the page is resized or when you first launch the page.
It seems to remember the previous size that it was rendered at.
This icon does not disappear and works perfectly(As with your first demo) until you add the NavigationPage.TitleView in the menu page as detailed in my demo.

I've updated the demo with the UWP ResourceDictionary mods so you can see what it does.

Could you modify my demo to fix the backdrop page icon as this really is the main issue and I could do with some help on this.

Regards
Phil.
