WPF UI x WPF collaboration · lepoco/wpfui · Discussion #880 · GitHub

I have the great honor to announce that in cooperation with @microsoft, especially WPF team, we will take steps to move some of the WPF UI functionality to the .NET WPF.

The goal is to provide the appearance and functionality of a modern Windows 11 with the WPF technology we all know and love. Natively and effortlessly, as promised by WPF UI. It's not about moving WinUI and WindowsAppSdk to WPF, because that's what WindowsAppSdk is for. We would like to methodically expand WPF to provide a more modern look without changing habits and work style.

I am very pleased that thanks to @pchaurasia14 we will be able to contribute to WPF. I am also very pleased that @niels9001 has made efforts to make WPF UI an integral part of PowerToys.

This library has been developing over the last few years thanks to the support of wonderful people such as:
@IvanDmitriev1, @niels9001, @chucker, @walterlv, @ParzivalExe, @MakesYT, @Nice3point, @JeremyWu917, @timheuer, @MajorXAML and others.

And although some of the functionality will soon be core WPF, support for older versions of .NET and some non-standard functionalities will remain the default WPF UI.

You can find the announcement from the WPF team here:
dotnet/wpf#8533

I'm looking forward to seeing how much interesting code we can create together.

Lots of love from Poland,
Leszek
