Fluent UI

[gabriel-vanca]

Decided to rethink PR #162 and switch to Fluent design as Material looks outdated, MahApps Metro is very slow in getting updates and FluentWpf has not been maintained for 3 years.

PR changelog:

1. Deprecates MahApps Metro and FluentWpf . Switches to WpfUI (https://github.com/lepoco/wpfui)
2. Deprecates Windows.Forms. Switches fully to Wpf.
3. Deprecates Material and Metro theme components. Switches fully to Fluent design.
4. Deprecates out-of-date controls (AcrylicContextMenu, AcrylicMenuItem, ZtextBox, Acrylic Helper, Windows Composition helper)
5. Deprecates old icon system. Switches the the Windows native Segoe MDL2
6. Deprecates Consolas typeface. Changes to Adobe Source Code Pro (https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro)
7. Adobe Source Code Pro is now embedded in the project.
8. App now supports Dark Mode, Light Mode and High Constrast Mode (depending on Windows configuration)
9. App will dynamically change its theme if Windows changes its theme.
10. Simplifies the global hotkey logic.
11. Simplifies the MainWindow hotkey logic,
12. Simplifies the Taskbar management system (lots of old code remaining from RepoZ and its MacOS support now removed)
13. Fixes the stay active window (activate by pressing F12) -> now the window can stay active once it loses focus. Closes Sticky Window (F12) #190 .
14. Fixes some XAML bugs

Dark Mode:

Light Mode:

High Contrast Mode: (dark high contrast modes are coming later)

Ideas for future PRs:

1. Theme is not saved to settings as of now.
2. Still no option to change theme manually.
3. Option to change the hotkey from settings.
4. Clicking the Pin icon should unpin repositories
5. Pinned repositories should be saved between sessions

@coenm , Apologies for putting so much in one PR. Replacing some UI things required replacing others and that broke other things, so it kind of required re-writing much of the MainWindow logic. And sorry about the large number of files; they're mostly fonts, themes and colour palettes.

Hi @coenm , let me know if you're still considering this PR as I had a few more UI-related ideas that depend on this PR.

Hi @gabriel-vanca ,

Yes, I'm still open for an UI update. However, I liked your dark mode in PR #162 more compared to this one. Also, both PR's had some 'issues' or additions I didn't like and were blocking for me.

If you are still willing to put some time into RepoM (which i'm really grateful for), we should come up with some plan first before you putting in all this effort.

[gabriel-vanca]

Sure, @coenm , I'd like that. The UI framework in the previous PR is deprecated, so I suggest we should use this newer one. The theme can be changed easily to be closer to the theme in the old one.

What do you have in mind regarding blocking additions and changes?
