This section concerns common UI patterns you may want to implement yourself.
If you’ve figured out something tricky with a UI, or if you just want to let people know
something you made exists, considering sharing the wealth and adding it here!
Status Colors
Palettes.Status allows you to show the status of something with a color, (red = bad,
amber = ok, green = good). You just need to give it a number between 0 and 1, and
it will blend between the colors (using fancy OKLAB blending!!).
Palettes.Status.GetStatusColor(0.0f); // red
Palettes.Status.GetStatusColor(0.5f); // amber
Palettes.Status.GetStatusColor(1.0f); // green
Palettes.Status.GetStatusColor(0.25f); // blends between red and amber
Multiple Style Classes
In order to add multiple style classes to an element within its XAML file, some
extra boilerplate is required:
<Control xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=System.Runtime">
<Button Text="delete">
<Button.StyleClasses>
<sys:String>ButtonSmall</sys:String>
<sys:String>negative</sys:String>
</Button.StyleClasses>
</Button>
</Control>
