Common
@Composable
fun NavigationBar(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    containerColor: Color = NavigationBarDefaults.containerColor,
    contentColor: Color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.contentColorFor(containerColor),
    tonalElevation: Dp = NavigationBarDefaults.Elevation,
    windowInsets: WindowInsets = NavigationBarDefaults.windowInsets,
    content: @Composable RowScope.() -> Unit,
)

Parameters

modifier the Modifier to be applied to this navigation bar
containerColor the color used for the background of this navigation bar. Use Color.Transparent to have no color.
contentColor the preferred color for content inside this navigation bar. Defaults to either the matching content color for containerColor, or to the current LocalContentColor if containerColor is not a color from the theme.
tonalElevation when containerColor is ColorScheme.surface, a translucent primary color overlay is applied on top of the container. A higher tonal elevation value will result in a darker color in light theme and lighter color in dark theme. See also: Surface.
