WinUI documentation - Design

Uno Platform's API is derived from the WinUI application framework. Microsoft provides extensive documentation for WinUI. Rather than duplicate all of it, here we list selected entries that are especially applicable to Uno Platform developers.

These resources can serve as a starting point when designing your Uno Platform application.

Some of the points of guidance may be specific to Windows 10's Fluent design language. When designing your cross-platform application, feel free to choose the principles that best apply to your users and the app experience you're aiming for.
