.NET MAUI Skeleton Animation

Updated on Nov 8, 2025

The Skeleton control includes built-in animation options that allow you to create a smooth and engaging loading experience for the app users.

You can change the animation type by setting the AnimationType (enum of type Telerik.Maui.Controls.Skeleton.SkeletonAnimationType) property to one of the available options:

• None—No animation is applied to the Skeleton control. The skeleton remains static without any visual effects.

• (Default) Pulse—Applies a pulsing animation that smoothly fades the skeleton in and out, creating a subtle breathing effect. This is the default animation type and provides visual feedback that content is actively loading.

  

Below is a quick example showing how to set the AnimationType property to None:

xaml

		<telerik:RadSkeleton SkeletonAnimationType="None"
				 RepeatSpacing="2"
				 RepeatCount="3"
				 x:Name="skeleton"
				 Grid.Row="1" />

For a runnable example with the Skeleton Animation, see the SDKBrowser Demo Application and go to Skeleton > Animation category.
