CmdPal: Light, dark, pink, and unicorns (#43505) <!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? --> ## Summary of the Pull Request This PR introduces user settings for app mode themes (dark, light, or system) and background customization options, including custom colors, system accent colors, or custom images. - Adds a new page to the Settings window with new appearance settings and moves some existing settings there as well. - Introduces a new core-level service abstraction, `IThemeService`, that holds the state for the current theme. - Uses the helper class `ResourceSwapper` to update application-level XAML resources. The way WinUI / XAML handles these is painful, and XAML Hot Reload is pain². Initialization must be lazy, as XAML resources can only be accessed after the window is activated. - `ThemeService` takes app and system settings and selects one of the registered `IThemeProvider`s to calculate visuals and choose the appropriate XAML resources. - At the moment, there are two: - `NormalThemeProvider` - Provides the current uncolorized light and dark styles - `ms-appx:///Styles/Theme.Normal.xaml` - `ColorfulThemeProvider` - Style that matches the Windows 11 visual style (based on the Start menu) and colors - `ms-appx:///Styles/Theme.Colorful.xaml` - Applied when the background is colorized or a background image is selected - The app theme is applied only on the main window (`WindowThemeSynchronizer` helper class can be used to synchronize other windows if needed). - Adds a new dependency on `Microsoft.Graphics.Win2D`. - Adds a custom color picker popup; the one from the Community Toolkit occasionally loses the selected color. - Flyby: separates the keyword tag and localizable label for pages in the Settings window navigation. ## Pictures?

CmdPal: Light, dark, pink, and unicorns (#43505) <!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? --> ## Summary of the Pull Request This PR introduces user settings for app mode themes (dark, light, or system) and background customization options, including custom colors, system accent colors, or custom images. - Adds a new page to the Settings window with new appearance settings and moves some existing settings there as well. - Introduces a new core-level service abstraction, `IThemeService`, that holds the state for the current theme. - Uses the helper class `ResourceSwapper` to update application-level XAML resources. The way WinUI / XAML handles these is painful, and XAML Hot Reload is pain². Initialization must be lazy, as XAML resources can only be accessed after the window is activated. - `ThemeService` takes app and system settings and selects one of the registered `IThemeProvider`s to calculate visuals and choose the appropriate XAML resources. - At the moment, there are two: - `NormalThemeProvider` - Provides the current uncolorized light and dark styles - `ms-appx:///Styles/Theme.Normal.xaml` - `ColorfulThemeProvider` - Style that matches the Windows 11 visual style (based on the Start menu) and colors - `ms-appx:///Styles/Theme.Colorful.xaml` - Applied when the background is colorized or a background image is selected - The app theme is applied only on the main window (`WindowThemeSynchronizer` helper class can be used to synchronize other windows if needed). - Adds a new dependency on `Microsoft.Graphics.Win2D`. - Adds a custom color picker popup; the one from the Community Toolkit occasionally loses the selected color. - Flyby: separates the keyword tag and localizable label for pages in the Settings window navigation. ## Pictures?
