MahApps.Metro 0.12

Notes

After only 2 months and nearly 300 commits, this is one of the feature-richest releases we've ever done.

This release, again, contains some breaking changes.
We try to break things now rather than later, when we release version 1.0 (which is hopefully soon).

A quick overview:

• ProgressIndicator is now removed, as it wasn't working as expected.
  Use MetroProgressBar with IsIndeterminate = True instead, which should give a much smoother experience.
• Like ProgressIndicator, MetroImage has been removed because it was broken.
  A better alternative is to use a simple Rectangle, as described here
• For the same reasons, the Panorama control has been removed.
  While we have no drop-in replacement for this control, if you really want it back,
  you can always submit a pull request with a better Panorama, but beware, it most likely needs a serious rewrite.

Upcoming changes:

• The RangeSlider control is currently being rewritten, so expect some breaking changes here.

Features

Dialog system

The dialog system has been overhauled for better extensibility.

The SimpleDialog class now allows to create a custom dialog.

ProgressDialog is a dialog that displays progress (duh!) inspired by Github for Windows.
InputDialog works like the MessageDialog but allows the user to input text.

For reference, see PR #785 , #860 and #901 .

Modal Flyouts

Just like modal dialogs, Flyouts can now be made modal by setting the IsModal = true.
Thanks @grokys for this feature!

For reference, see PR #824

Themed Flyouts

A Flyout can now have a theme, just like MetroWindow

There are four different theme states, indicated by the FlyoutTheme enum:

• FlyoutTheme.Adapt: The flyout will use the theme if the host window
• FlyoutTheme.Inverse: The flyout will use the inverse theme of the host window
• FlyoutTheme.Dark: Always dark. This is the default value
• FlyoutTheme.Light: Always use the light theme
• FlyoutTheme.Accent: Instead of the dark/light theme, use the accent of the host window

This behavior can be set through the Theme property

For reference, see PR #941

Expander

Added new Expander control that can can be used to close/open for example a GroupBox
Thanks @Icehunter for this feature!

For reference, see PR #834

NumericUpDown

Implemented a NumericUpDown control, inspired by the Callisto style.
Thanks @xxMUROxx for this feature!

New icons

For reference, see PR #887

MahApps.Metro 0.11

Notes

Warning: This release has a few breaking changes.
A quick overview:

• 'Colours' -> 'Colors'
  For consistency, we've chosen to rename all occurendes of 'Colours' to 'Colors'
• The 'TransitioningContentControl' use now an enumeration for 'Transition'

More details here: https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro/wiki/Breaking-Changes-or-WTF-is-happening-with-the-ALPHA-version

Other things:

• You can now put all the resource dictionaries in your 'App.xaml' file
• ProgressIndicator is marked as 'Obsolete'. In future, use 'MetroProgressbar' with 'Indeterminate' set to 'true'
• Like the ProgressIndicator, the Panorama will be removed in future versions.
  There is a chance that it will be rewritten and reintroduced later on.
• TextBox, PasswordBox, ComboBox and DatePicker use now the Validation.ErrorTemplate for displaying errors.
  The default template is ValidationErrorTemplate.
• The Demo application has been completely rewritten.
