Just wanted to confirm that things works beautifully in RC2 ! Thank you all for helping this getting in

This behavior has been driving me nuts as well. This shouldn't be by-design. No other project type does this.

This is working for me. Can you please provide a reproducer sample

Oh nevermind wait. I misread. This is a known limitation in UWP. See notes in code: https://github.com/dotMorten/XamarinFormsControls/blob/c3efce5fcc92a1a0eee865fcbf4752b89b451291/AutoSuggestBox/Platform/AutoSuggestBoxRenderer.cs#L250-L254

Figure out which theme resource is used for that color for the platform auto suggest box and override it globally in app.xaml for the uwp project head

Useful reference implementations. FontFamily/FontSize: https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/blob/ffa53d31137b61e34192521cc10aae5c151d0c98/Xamarin.Forms.Platform.UAP/EntryRenderer.cs#L149-L181 TextColor: https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/blob/ffa53d31137b61e34192521cc10aae5c151d0c98/Xamarin.Forms.Platform.UAP/EntryRenderer.cs#L233-L242 PlaceHolderTextColor: https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/blob/ffa53d31137b61e34192521cc10aae5c151d0c98/Xamarin.Forms.Platform.UAP/EntryRenderer.cs#L217-L226

Set the TextColor property. Note this property isn't in the released version yet so you need to build the library yourself from the master branch

...there are no border property at this point

TextColor and PlaceholderTextColor added.

Entry's native element doesn't support drop-down on all platforms.
