This pull request introduces several improvements to the application's UI consistency and theming, especially for package lists, navigation, and badges, aligning them more closely with WinUI design patterns. It also refactors how package tag icons are handled in the code, and removes an unused theme package reference.
The most important changes are:
UI Theming and Styles
Styles.Common.axamlandStyles.WindowsMica.axamlfor package lists, column headers, and subtle fills, making backgrounds and hover/press states more visually consistent with WinUI. This includes new resources likePackageListBackground,PackageListHeaderBackground, and subtle fill brushes for both light and dark themes.ListBoxItem.nav-item) and segmented view selectors (ListBoxItem.segment-item) to use subtle neutral fills and accent selection indicators, instead of full accent fills.DataGridColumnHeaderfont size to 14px to match WinUI, improving column header appearance.Package Tag Icon Refactor
PackageCollections.csto use separate properties for the symbol and backdrop SVGs (TagSymbolIconPathandTagBackdropIconPath), allowing for a WinUI-style "punched out" badge effect. Updated logic for which icons are shown and when.ViewModel Improvements
InstallOptionsViewModelto better match WinUI's two-line tab style and added new translated labels for placeholders and actions.Dependency Cleanup
