BusyIndicator not blending item with different color

[ManniAT]

Hi,

when I use SfBusyIndicator and it is busy the "background" is blended / grayed out.

But only for items which have the default (theme) color.

As soon as I change a color it is no longer blended.

So it looks as if the control doesn't (as usual) provide an opaque background, instead it tries to do something different.

Looks like this:

This also happens with "themed colors". Since I found no way to get rid of the blue text in SfDataGrid I searched the helpfiles and found that I can change ThemeSettings.

Doing this 

FluentDarkThemeSettings themeSettings = new FluentDarkThemeSettings() {

SystemAccentColor = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White),

};

changes the Textcolor in the grid. But it also results in "not beeing blended" with the BusyIndicator.

This is what it looks (fragment due to sensible data)

"Deactivated" and the URL is blended - the 0 not (is set it to red) and also the grid text is not blended since it is changed via themeSettings.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a way to overcome this?

Hi ManniAT,

Greetings from Syncfusion,

We have checked the reported query. We don’t have direct support to achieve your requirement. we have achieved your requirement by adjusting the layout opacity based on the SfBusyIndicator loading. Please find the sample and screenshot for your reference.

Hi,

I just gave you sample a try.

But this does nothing than setting the grid's opacity.

So when IsBusy changes to false the indicator goes away btt the grid stays opaque.

This is of course not a solution for my needs.

What I want is a busy indicator that shows an animaton and blends my UI to show the user that he has to wait.
You inicator does this as expected - as long as I don't change any colors. Neither via custom theme colors, nor by setting a controls foreground.

Of course I could write "code behind" to achive this, but from my point of view this is what the indicator should do by desing.

And again - it is doing it for default colors.
So not doing it for custom colors looks like a bug for me.

I found a workaround like this

This is just a simple workaroung (of course the borders background should be dependant from the theme (main background), but at least it works.
Although it still shines a bit more on custom colors since your control somehow (from code) tries to blend default colored elements.

Anyhow - I can work whith this solution.
