Maui App Icons Splash

What it does

When your agent uses it

• MauiSplashScreen
• Change app icon
• Foreground tint
• : in-app images

Example prompts

• “app icon”
• “splash screen”
• “MauiIcon”
• “/maui-app-icons-splash”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Use SVG whenever possible — one file, infinite scaling, smaller repo.
2. 2Set BaseSize explicitly when the SVG viewBox doesn't match the desired logical size.
3. 3Keep splash images simple — large or complex SVGs slow the build and may render with artifacts.
4. 4Test on real devices — emulator densities mask icon cropping, especially Android adaptive icon safe zones.
5. 5Use composed icons for Android — ForegroundFile + ForegroundScale="0.65" ensures the foreground stays within the safe zone.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79bb4bf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are xml).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Maui App Icons Splash loads about 995 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 142 tokens; SKILL.md has 311 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~142

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~995

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

.NET MAUI app icon configuration, splash screen setup, SVG to PNG conversion at build time, composed/adaptive icons, and platform-specific icon and splash screen requirements for Android, iOS, Mac Catalyst, and Windows. USE FOR: "app icon", "splash screen", "MauiIcon", "MauiSplashScreen", "adaptive icon", "change app icon", "launch screen", "SVG icon", "foreground tint", "icon resize". DO NOT USE FOR: in-app images or image loading (use maui-performance), theming or colors (use maui-theming), or custom drawing (use maui-graphics-drawing).

<!-- ❌ Single-layer icon — foreground fills entire canvas, gets clipped -->
<MauiIcon Include="Resources\AppIcon\appicon.svg"
          Color="#512BD4" />

<!-- ✅ Composed icon with scaled foreground — stays in safe zone -->
<MauiIcon Include="Resources\AppIcon\appicon.svg"
          ForegroundFile="Resources\AppIcon\appiconfg.svg"
          ForegroundScale="0.65"
          Color="#512BD4" />

<!-- ❌ Transparent color — may render as black on some platforms -->
<MauiSplashScreen Include="Resources\Splash\splash.svg"
                  Color="#00FFFFFF" />

<!-- ✅ Opaque color -->
<MauiSplashScreen Include="Resources\Splash\splash.svg"
                  Color="#512BD4" />

<!-- Workaround: supply a pre-made PNG and skip resizing -->
<MauiIcon Include="Resources\AppIcon\appicon.png"
          Resize="false" />

<!-- SVG viewBox is 100x100 but you want 456x456 logical output -->
<MauiIcon Include="Resources\AppIcon\appicon.svg"
          BaseSize="456,456"
          Color="#512BD4" />
