Tweak it (Customizing the UI)

Partly Cloudy is the show where you'll learn how to build a Xamarin.Forms app from scratch all the way through deploying it to the App Stores! Along the way you'll see some Azure goodness sprinkled in to make a fully enabled real-world mobile app.

 In this episode we put the finishing touches to the app's user interface. It looked good before, but now it'll look even better! You'll learn all about Xamarin.Forms Visual, how to change the home screen icons, tailor the splash screens to your exact specifications, and even play around with Xamarin.Forms styles. And for good measure, we'll dig down into the platform code to tweak some UI too!
