Is the usage of this limited in terms on who can use it? For example if I want to do my own app am I allowed to use this library? Not for commercial use of course.

I created a Windows installer with Wix and I noticed that the software wasn't working. The reason being is that you can never work next to the exe, since that is located in the Program Files, which needs admin access and the software as launched it doesn't have that.

So, in AvalonStudio.Shell, the Extensions folder couldn't be created, thus the software failed to launch. The code below does this in AvalonStudio.

public static string ExecutionPath => Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);

public static string ExtensionsFolder => Path.Combine(ExecutionPath, "Extensions");

I suggest changing the second line to this:

public static string ExtensionsFolder => Path.Combine(BaseDirectory, "Extensions");

Since I have no idea what that does, my question is: is it safe to change this? (I didn't test.)

• Make CancelCommand virtual

• Add something like virtual OnShown or observable property. I would like to start my operations at that phase. Now if I create a dialog and call Close before the call of ShowDialogAsync then dialogCloseCompletionSource will generate NRE.

Put throw new Exception(); to .AfterSetup(_ => and the software will hang instead of crash. This is a deeper look into WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi#2843.

I've noticed there's a wasabi-tmp branch that's not used anymore in this repo. This is a bit confusing it can be deleted.

For help I paste here the commands: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10999165/2061103

git branch -D wasabi-tmp
git push origin --delete wasabi-tmp

All nuget packages have been restored after cloning repository. .net Core 2.2 is installed and all single projects of the solution build without any error message but when i try to start the example app then an exception is throwing!

Right now there's a problem with View location, as it tries to find view by string replacement in AvaloniaStudioDocumentTab type name from DockExtensions.

I'm interested in this project and may help with development, but since the sample app doesn't really work, it's hard to get a grip of functionality.

While at it, I think a NuGet.config with appropriate feeds added would be nice, since otherwise this project can't be built from fresh clone.

Aaand there's no License. :)

Awesome work!

This needlessly limit the power of what we can do with it.

There is no such theme in AvalonStudio.Shell/Themes/ folder

which is needed in ShellExampleApp/App.paml for example.

Another problem is when I tried to customize platform-specific window (from this advice AvaloniaUI/Avalonia#776)

1. I added AvalonStudio.Shell 0.9.0-preview7 package

2. Added styles in App.xaml
   <StyleInclude Source="avares://AvalonStudio.Shell/Themes/BaseDark.xaml"/> <StyleInclude Source="avares://AvalonStudio.Shell/Themes/Accents/DarkAccent.xaml"/> <StyleInclude Source="avares://AvalonStudio.Shell/Icons/Icons.xaml"/> <StyleInclude Source="avares://AvalonStudio.Shell/Controls/MetroWindowTheme.paml" /> <StyleInclude Source="avares://AvalonStudio.Shell.Extensibility/Controls/ControlTheme.paml" /> <StyleInclude Source="avares://AvalonStudio.Shell/Styles/GlobalStyles.xaml" />

3. And derived MainWindow from AvalonStudio.Shell.Controls.MetroWindow

This is work on window, but doesn't work on mac
