🌼 Flowery.Uno

An Uno Platform / WinUI port of Flowery.NET — fully themed C# controls.

🌐 Localized in 12 languages including:

🇯🇵 日本語にローカライズ済み  •  🇰🇷 한국어로 현지화됨  •  🇨🇳 已本地化为简体中文

🇺🇦 Локалізовано українською  •  🇸🇦 مترجم للعربية  •  🇮🇱 מתורגם לעברית

Flowery.Uno provides native WinUI controls that mimic the utility-first, semantic class naming of DaisyUI, making it easy to build beautiful, themed UIs.

Note

This is still in alpha. Features may be added/removed or need fixing. I'm just a guy with an AI! Took all of my spare time over 5+ weeks for just the initial alpha. This Flowery version has even more controls and features then the original. This repo is ~134K lines of code with 900+ files.
I hope this will be useful and fun to work with! -- tobitege

Relationship to Flowery.NET

• Flowery.NET (Avalonia) was the starting point and the reference implementation.
• Flowery.Uno (Uno Platform / WinUI) reuses the same DaisyUI-inspired design language:
  • semantic variants (Primary, Secondary, Accent, etc.)
  • DaisyUI theme names and runtime switching
  • similar control names (DaisyButton, DaisyInput, DaisyThemeDropdown, …)

Features

• DaisyUI-inspired Controls: C# classes inheriting from WinUI primitives (e.g., DaisyButton : Button).
• 35 DaisyUI Themes: All official DaisyUI themes included (Light, Dark, Cupcake, Dracula, Nord, Synthwave, and more).
• Runtime Theme Switching: Use DaisyThemeDropdown to switch themes at runtime.
• Lightweight Styling: Customize individual controls with control-specific resource keys. 📖 Reference
• Localization Support: Built-in i18n with 12 languages (🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇨🇳 🇰🇷 🇯🇵 🇸🇦 🇹🇷 🇺🇦 🇮🇱), localizable theme names, and runtime language switching. 📖 Guide WinUI/Uno heads must use {Binding [Key]} with a Localization DataContext; x:Bind indexers are invalid on all heads. Desktop/Skia must force a DataContext refresh on culture change to update indexer bindings.
• FlowKanban: Full Kanban board control with swimlanes, WIP limits, drag & drop, undo/redo history, multi-board home, and JSON persistence + migration. 📖 Guide
• Variants: Supports Primary, Secondary, Accent, Ghost, etc.
• Gallery App: Demo application showcasing all controls and features.

FlowKanban

FlowKanban is a full Kanban board system built for Flowery.Uno. It ships as a single control but includes a full ecosystem of models, dialogs, and a Home screen for managing multiple boards.

FlowKanban Highlights

• Swimlanes with lane-aware drag and drop.
• WIP limits with visual enforcement and warnings.
• Undo/redo history for all board operations.
• Multi-board Home screen (search, sort, rename, duplicate, export).
• JSON persistence with atomic saves + migration support.
• Command surface for common actions (add/remove/rename/zoom).
• Search and filtering for tasks and boards.
• Industrial sidebar layout with board-level actions.

Architecture

• FlowKanban: Control shell + state + persistence.
• FlowKanbanManager: Programmatic API for manipulating boards.
• FlowKanbanHome: Multi-board Home screen control.
• FlowTaskCard / FlowKanbanColumn: Visual task + column building blocks.

Usage

xmlns:kanban="using:Flowery.Uno.Kanban.Controls"

<kanban:FlowKanban x:Name="ProjectBoard" />

📖 FlowKanban Guide - Full feature list, architecture, and usage examples.

Quick Start

1. Reference the Flowery.Uno project (or later: a NuGet package).

2. Ensure Themes/Generic.xaml is loaded in your app. The library uses GenerateLibraryLayout=true.

3. (Recommended) Seed design tokens early if you calculate layout before any Daisy control loads:

using Flowery.Theming;

DaisyResourceLookup.EnsureTokens();

4. Use controls in your views:

xmlns:daisy="using:Flowery.Controls"

<daisy:DaisyButton Content="Primary Button" Variant="Primary" />
<daisy:DaisyInput PlaceholderText="Type here" Variant="Bordered" />
<daisy:DaisyThemeDropdown MinWidth="220" />
