Brush Names

Sometimes you may want to use the brushes from our styles library directly in your Avalonia XAML. Typically you'll use them as dynamic resources, so they will synchronize with the current material palette.

Note
Brush names changed in 3.0.0 version. New and old names listed here.
We also provide a compatibility styles, so your app should work as before.
But you should update you brushes, since old one declared as obsolete and will be removed in 4.0 version.
