## What it is
FluentWPF is a C# library that brings Microsoft's Fluent Design System to WPF applications. It provides acrylic window/brush effects, Reveal control styles, ParallaxView, and accent color resources via XAML styles.

## Use cases
- add acrylic blur effect to WPF windows
- apply Fluent Design styling to WPF controls
- use Reveal highlight effect on buttons and lists in WPF
- make a WPF app look like a modern Windows 10/11 app
- get Windows accent colors in a WPF application
- add parallax scrolling to a WPF app

## When to choose
- building a WPF desktop app that should match Windows Fluent Design aesthetics
- you want acrylic/translucent window chrome in WPF
- you need ready-made XAML styles rather than building custom effects

## When to avoid
- developing with UWP, WinUI 3, or Avalonia instead of WPF
- you need cross-platform UI (WPF is Windows-only)
- the project appears to be in maintenance with the last release in 2022 and you need actively evolving features

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, theme
- domain: desktop-applications, web-design, frontend
- platform: windows, dotnet
- tags: wpf, fluent-design, acrylic, xaml, reveal-effect, csharp
