Thank you for the suggestion.

I'll be happy to work on it, however I'm on vacation for the next 8 days. So I won't get much done until then.

Would you be ok with either text or images exclusively? Apple design guidelines discourage mixing both in the segmented control.

Avoid mixing text and images in a segmented control. Although individual segments can contain text or images, mixing the two in a single control can lead to a disconnected and confusing interface.

@rjantz3 I think it makes sense to follow the Apple guidelines here.

I'm a bit fan of using vector icons. Like svg. I think that should be a possibility here.

[rjantz3]

@1iveowl Does Xamarin.Forms display vector icons natively? Last I knew it didn't. Feel free to update my knowledge and/or suggest a library that does.

I was thinking more in line with enabling the option to include a ContentView or similar. This way anything could really be embedded.

@1iveowl I didn't have a good way thought out yet. Go ahead if you do.

[1iveowl]

I don't. Just some lose thinking and very little time to execute at the moment.
