Hello,
I've decided to make significant improvements to the UI in my spare time. I'll begin with simpler xaml pages first and then tackle more complex ones. What's your opinion?

Hi, it depends on how much it will change.
Do you mean by changes in theming or UX changes (button positions, the way that the app works, etc.)?
I'm okay in improving dark theme, removing the window chrome (by using WPF's WindowChrome), improving the UX of some components, etc.

Just let's chat before any drastic changes.

I have been working on v3 for a while now.
It will be a complete redesign/rework of the whole app.

I like your new design. 😍
So if that is the case, you can share any pages you plan to redesign (here or via email, etc.) so we can discuss them beforehand. I see in myself that I can help you to create a more effective and minimal UI. I'm excited to work with you on this project. This will prevent future development costs.

Thanks.
v3 will be a separate thing, as it's a big leap from v2.
They will be sort of imcompatible with each other (you'll will be able in v3 to import and export to v2's STG format).
But v2 will not know how to handle v3 data.
I'll keep both v2 and v3 in development.

It's in my plans to update the UI of v2, specially for dark theme, as you can see the window title bar isn't blending that well.
Also, the dark theme colors are not that good. If you can help me with that, it would be great already.

I believe you will find it challenging to handle both of them effectively at the same time.

I'm waiting for you to release version 3, and then I'll contribute to it. Minor changes in an already beautiful project are more appealing to me than making minor adjustments to a project that won't evolve into what I desire.

Nevertheless, please consider the suggestion I've put forward. For instance, in the above screenshot, you could display the date in terms of age. Also show the precise date and associated actions just when the mouse hovers over a specific row.

Is there any news?
Can you share more info?
Wpf or WinUI?
If it is wpf, are you using custom style or library? (like wpfui)

@ghost1372 It's a WPF app with custom made styles and controls. I built the controls as needed.

I just wanted to say that .NET 9 has added the Fluent style, which can be useful.
