Implemented a view for a Geohashing clients that uses Visual

Implemented a view for a Geohashing clients that uses Visual="Material".

Added Screen Shots on Android and iOS with Visual turned on and off on both platforms.

There are a few buttons, an entry and a Frame effected by Visual.

I've used an Entry where I would usually use a date picker. It would be great to see a date picker that looked similar to the material entries.

The main benefit I found was how much nicer the Entry looks on both platforms.

I'd love to see more controls using Visual and would also look forward to options for Visual other than Material.

Thanks for setting this up.

Thanks @lachlanwgordon !

That's actually in the works.

options for Visual other than Material.

Anything you have in mind?

iOS would be a good start and probably the most useful. Metro would be fun although I don't think I would ever actually use it.

The way I see visual being used is if I set Visual in an app, the app looks identical(or as close as practical) on all platforms. If I set it to iOS it will make the controls on Android(etc.) appear the same as their default appearance on iOS.

I often develop a new feature mainly testing on iOS along the way, then when I test on Android things look awful. The two main offenders tend to be the default appearance of Android button and the extra height required for entries.

This could also be useful in letting users choose what style UI they see. I've heard Apple fans complain about how much they hate Material Design showing up in iOS apps.

@lachlanwgordon we've updated the master branch with some updated nugets if you want to try out the pickers that now use material entry controls

Thank you for your visual challenge contribution!!
