Avalonia Styling
Overview
Three mechanisms for visual styling in Avalonia:
| Mechanism | Analogous to | Use for |
|---|---|---|
Style |
CSS | App-specific visual rules, typography, spacing, state |
ControlTheme |
WPF Style + ControlTemplate | Restyling entire control appearance (lookless) |
ContainerQuery |
CSS container queries | Responsive styles based on container size |
Styles cascade up the logical tree. ControlThemes live in Resources, not Styles.
Writing Styles
Selector + Setters. Place in Window.Styles, UserControl.Styles, or App.axaml for global.
