Darkraise.WpfEx 1.0.1

Darkraise.WpfEx

A WPF application layer for the Darkraise Framework: custom MVVM, runtime light/dark theming with accent presets, themed styles for the standard controls, dialogs, and a large icon set. Zero third-party dependencies — it builds on WPF and the core Darkraise library only.

dotnet add package Darkraise.WpfEx

Highlights

• MVVM without ceremony — DarkraiseApplication wires the DI container, scans for view models and resolves views by convention (FooViewModel → FooView). Screens get lifecycle hooks, Resolve<T>(), a logger, dialogs and IsBusy.
• Theming — light and dark at runtime, 15 accent presets, WCAG-aware color helpers, and a themed style for every common control.
• Icons — DarkraiseIcon exposes roughly 1900 Lucide icons by IconKind, with fill, stroke width and custom geometry support.
• Dialogs — IDialogService with message, error, confirmation and multi-button dialogs, usable straight from a view model.
• View model bases — list, editor, collection and pagination bases, with editor and delete-confirmation flows already wired to the dialog service.
• Extras — Animate (spin, bounce, pulse, ping), HotKeyTextBox, NumericTextBox, Pagination, converters and attached-property helpers, plus a single-instance ResourceMutex.

Quick start

Apply a theme in App.xaml:

<Application.Resources>
    <theming:DarkraiseThemeDictionary
        xmlns:theming="clr-namespace:Darkraise.WpfEx.Theming;assembly=Darkraise.WpfEx"
        Theme="Dark"
        Accent="Blue" />
</Application.Resources>

Derive your application from DarkraiseApplication:

public class App : DarkraiseApplication
{
    protected override void ConfigureServices(IServiceRegistry services)
    {
        services.AddSingleton<IMyService, MyService>();
    }
}

[RootViewModel]
public class ShellViewModel : OneActiveConductor<DarkraiseScreen>
{
    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync(CancellationToken ct)
    {
        await ActivateItemAsync(Resolve<HomeViewModel>());
    }
}

Switch themes at runtime, and use dialogs and icons from anywhere:

ThemeManager.SetTheme(AppTheme.Dark);
ThemeManager.ToggleTheme();

var confirmed = await Dialog.ShowConfirmationAsync("Delete this item?", "Confirm");

<controls:DarkraiseIcon Kind="Heart" Size="24" IsFilled="True"
                        xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:Darkraise.WpfEx.Controls;assembly=Darkraise.WpfEx" />

Requirements

Targets net10.0-windows with UseWPF, so consuming projects need the same:

<TargetFramework>net10.0-windows</TargetFramework>
<UseWPF>true</UseWPF>
