Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

We are looking to migrate from Mopups to the toolkit for popups.

We have a few issues with the current implementation -

• When animating the popup there is an outline of where the pop-up will be (see video)
• You can only animate within the final location, i.e. the above outline. F.e., in the video, the popup should be sliding down from off the page
• Can't see a way to override the tap to close, so we can animate it away

Expected Behavior

• No outline for final popup location
• No restriction on where the popup and be displayed (should display outside of the current outline)
• A way to override the tap close logic

Steps To Reproduce

A colleage has created a POC for us testing MAUI toolkit popup - https://github.com/kycuff/PopupProto

Environment

- .NET MAUI CommunityToolkit: 14.0.0
- OS: Android
- .NET MAUI: 10.0.30

Anything else?

No response

The outline is likely the border displayed around the Popup, you should be able to remove this through PopupOptions.

As for the animation, I think you would effectively need a full screen Popup and then you can have the full screen to move the Popup around. It's clunky though
