Just a neat little 3d starfield effect
The current values ensure a fairly lightweight device usage

Great! Especially when removing the title and setting it to full screen (Project - Activity Properties).

You can also get a neat 'warp' effect by clearing the screen with

can.DrawColor(Colors.ARGB(70,0,0,0))
