Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior

Setting CircleImage's opacity is not working. If I set it as under 1, it's not shown.
(Only Android. and Xamarin's 'Image' is working fine.)

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

[Matti-Koopa]

I am having this (or a related?) problem only on XXHDPI Android phones.
If I am setting a FillColor and an Opacity < 1, it will cut off the top 1/5 of the image (full opacity there).

<plugins:CircleImage Opacity="0.3"
                         FillColor="Black"
                         BorderThickness="2" BorderColor="{StaticResource BorderColor}"
                         HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center"
                         HeightRequest="120" WidthRequest="120" Aspect="AspectFill">

Can you show me a screenshot? Trying to repo here.

[Matti-Koopa]

Sure.
I just pasted the code on my above post in a new XAML page.
You can reproduce it on the Visual Studio emulator "5.1'' Lollipop (5.1.1) XXHDPI Phone (Android 5.1 - API 22)" or any high-dpi phone.

OH I see, you don't have an image in there? I will test this out, interesting.

Maybe i misunderstand something bit imho it is not a bug.
In this case of an Image parent property Opacity affects only the Bitmap image that is set to none in your code.
And the Color opacity is opaque, have set it Black instead of a transparent color.
If you set a transparent color the opacity you indicate in the color value will take effect.
If you set an image from a source Opacity property will take effect.
