WPF UI Library
What UI library can you recommend to use in WPF that is free and looks modern? I checked that Xceed has themes that they are paid.
AI remember always using MahApps.Metro back when I was still doing WPF
Pmahapps is meh
Pif you want a more modern look, like fluent, then WpfUI is the way to go
PWpfUI isn’t perfect though, it’s far from it
Pif you want something other than the 7 look but not too bloated, go with mahapps. If you want bloated but modern controls then go with WpfUI
AOr switch to Avalonia, it has some nice looking UI libraries
AAnd it's easier to style, so not using premade components to achieve a modern look is even easier
PAvalonia?
AYes
Pah
Pthat’s an option too
Lwpfui looks pretty cool thou

PI wish Microsoft would stick with a modern framework instead of leaving it up to developers to support these old frameworks like WPF/winforms
LGitHub
WPF UI provides the Fluent experience in your known and loved WPF framework. Intuitive design, themes, navigation and new immersive controls. All natively and effortlessly. - lepoco/wpfui
Pwasdk is nice but it’s pretty buggy
Lfor now yeah
LI wouldn't recommend it for a few more years
Pand given Microsoft’s behavior towards UWP, nobody even knows if they’ll stick with it
BAvalonia is amazing and pretty modern UI
Bthe UI looks sleek
AThey're already two frameworks ahead of UWP lmao
AIt's dead and buried
Ptwo?
AWinUI and MAUI
Punless you’re counting MAUI
LWinUI3 was suppose to be the successor
Poh
LMaui is only a wrapper around various native ui libs
PMAUI is barely usable
Lfor windows it uses WinUI
BThis is Avalonia's standard UI
LYou should take a look at what Microsoft uses itself, such as Microsoft Teams
AIf Microsoft doesn't release a new UI framework once every 3 years, the CEO gets an aneurysm
Pthey use react native.
ASo they're contractually obliged to do that
Lisn't teams web?
Preact native
Plmao
LI know the windows store was remade in UWP I think
BAvalonia is made to be similar in terms of Syntax so you can easily port it to Avalonia, especially if you use MVVM
AMS themselves don't use MS-made frameworks lol
Lthey do thou 
BYep. Embarrassing
BThey only use webview now
AWrapping a React app in MAUI Webview2 doesn't count
Lthe store is not webview
Pnot everywhere. Dev Home is a winui app. store is also native. but yeah a lot of apps are still web based unfortunately
