  • Windows UI Library

    Windows UI Library: the latest Windows 10 native controls and Fluent styles for your applications

    • There are various Github issues raised on this topic. The GOAL is apparently to support this (unpackaged Win32 apps) but they're not there yet. Apparently it was planned for Preview 3 but that didn't materialize. Last I saw in their roadmap was that this might actually become a post-3.0 feature, unfortunately.

  • ProjectReunion

    The Windows App SDK empowers all Windows desktop apps with modern Windows UI, APIs, and platform features, including back-compat support, shipped via NuGet.

    • WinUI 3 is a new set of standalone libraries and APIs, for newly written apps, or those updated by the programmer to use it. No unification in behavior or technology is going to happen to existing GUI software, not just Win32, but neither for Winforms, .Net, WPF, and older UWP. You might've been misled to be optimistic (as was I) by what they call Project Reunion, but read into it and you'll see they're again writing some new awesome thing for the 27th time, which will probably be left unmaintained in the next couple of years, without ever improving anything much, leaving Windows just a little more bloated again.

  • office-ui-fabric-react

    Fluent UI web represents a collection of utilities, React components, and web components for building web applications.

    • Dude I've been trying to contribute to the fluent ui repo to maintain consistency with the rest of windows 10 but they never really responded. And that repo is becoming inconsistent with WinUI day by day to the point where it can't even be called fluent ui.
