WinUI 2.4 Changes, Improvements, and features

Here is WinUI 2.4 Changelog –

  • Center, RadiusX, and RadiusY properties named RadialGradientBrush are drawn within an ellipse. Colors for the gradient end at the radius begin at the center of the ellipse.
  • Where the user is obstructed until the ProgressRing withdraws its control will be used for modal interactions.
  • You will find updates for TabView control that offer you extra control over how to render tabs.
  • You will have the ability to set the width of unselected tabs and show just an icon to save screen space.
  • The WinUI 2.4 feature also allows to hide the close button on un-selected tabs till the user hovers over the tab.
  • When dark theme is enabled, the background color of TextBox family controls remains dark by default on text insertion (in previous versions, the background color changes to light theme during text insertion).
  • Currently, WinUI 3.0 is in the Alpha development stage.  This is interesting for Windows 10 with the version. Later, the library can be used not only for Universal Windows Platform apps but also for existing Win32 applications (WPF, WinForms, MFC …).

  • Update available Win32 applications.
  • Assists in the development of new Windows applications
