This sample shows how to create customized media transport controls for the Media Element in your XAML Windows App.
Specifically, this sample shows how to:
- Set up the custom template: We can add a new template in our Themes/generic.xaml folder and create a custom template. We also added a class called CustomControls.cs which show how to use the custom template in your app
- Add a custom button: In generic.xaml we added a custom button in our CommandBar and show how to reference it and make it usable in CustomControls.cs
- Change the color of the slider: We added references in app.xaml for a custom brush which we then used to change the color of our media slider
