# .NET MAUI TabView Templates

The TabView provides set of templates for its elements. If you want to change the TabView appearance you can use the provided templates:

* `HeaderTemplate` (`ControlTemplate`)—Defines the template of the entire TabView Header. This includes the tabs in the Header (Header area + Header items).
* `HeaderItemTemplate` (`ControlTemplate`)—Defines the template of the individual header items.
* `ContentTemplate` (`ControlTemplate`)—Defined the template of the entire TabView Content.
