## What it is
Modern UI for WPF (MUI) is a set of controls, styles, and themes that give WPF desktop applications a modern, Metro-style look. It includes custom controls like ModernWindow and ModernMenu, dark/light theming with accent colors, and Visual Studio project templates.

## Use cases
- give my WPF app a modern metro-style look
- add dark and light themes with accent colors to a WPF application
- find modern UI controls like buttons, dialogs, and menus for WPF
- build a Windows desktop app with a consistent modern layout
- style standard WPF controls to match a modern theme

## When to choose
- you are building a WPF desktop app and want a polished modern UI without designing styles from scratch
- you need runtime-switchable dark/light themes and accent colors in WPF
- you want ready-made navigation, dialog, and layout controls for WPF

## When to avoid
- you are building with UWP, WinUI, MAUI, or Avalonia instead of classic WPF
- you need an actively developed library - the latest release dates to 2021
- your app targets non-Windows platforms, since WPF is Windows-only

- function: ui-components, theme, templating
