title: Xamarin Forms Toolbar / Navbar Formatting
body: <p>I am currently learning Xamarin Forms and I am starting by recreating an pp I have previously developed for iOS. I have been trying to format the navigation bar (I think its called toolbar in forms) and don't even know if what I want to do it possible.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/m5gKa.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This took me >5 minutes to knock together in xcode</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ofJu2.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This is currently what my xamarin project looks like</a></p>
  
  <p>Firstly my bar buttons are grouped right for some reason, I've seen some old posts from 2014 about this not being possible. Have they changed this? I know Xamarin has changed ALOT since 2014 and I cant find the question having been asked recently (maybe it is no possible??). </p>
  
  <p>Secondly the colour of my page in iOS is visible under the nav bar. It is not in Xamarin, I set the background colour using the following code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" 
      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" 
      x:Class="NavigationDemo.MenuPage"
      BackgroundColor="Fuchsia"
      Title = "Navigation Bar"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Surely this should stretch behind?</p>
  
  <p>So for a Xamarin rookie, how can I set it so that the iOS bar buttons appear left / right instead of right / right.... AND how can I get the background colour of my content page to appear under the navigation/toolbar?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
