The WinUI Shimmer control is used to improve the responsiveness of an application by showing a modern shimmer effect when data is being loaded in the background.
The WinUI Shimmer control provides different built-in types such as article, circle persona, feed, profile, shopping, square persona, and video.
Custom shimmer patterns in a variety of forms provide an alternative to the built-in shimmer types.
The appearance of a WinUI Shimmer control is highly customizable.
The fill color of the shimmer view can be changed as desired by the user.
The shimmer wave color can be changed to the desired color.
The wave width can be changed to the desired value.
The number of times the shimmer shape should be repeated.
The wave duration determines the duration of the animation wave in milliseconds.
Easily get started with the WinUI Shimmer using a few simple lines of XAML and CS code examples as demonstrated below.
