## What it is
FluentAvalonia is a control library for Avalonia UI that brings Fluent design and WinUI-inspired controls to cross-platform .NET applications. It provides styled XAML controls, icons, and theming to give Avalonia apps a modern Windows 11-like look.

## Use cases
- build a cross-platform desktop app with a fluent design look
- add WinUI-style controls like NavigationView and ContentDialog to an Avalonia app
- theme an Avalonia application with modern Windows 11 styling
- create a XAML-based .NET UI with fluent controls
- make a desktop app look native to Windows while running on Linux and macOS

## When to choose
- you are building an Avalonia 11 app and want a modern fluent/WinUI appearance
- you need WinUI controls such as NavigationView, TeachingTip, or TaskDialog in a cross-platform .NET app
- you want a consistent Windows 11-style theme across Windows, Linux, and macOS

## When to avoid
- you target Windows 7 or 8/8.1, which are unsupported
- you are not using Avalonia or the .NET ecosystem
- you need pixel-perfect native platform look-and-feel rather than a fluent design theme
