State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary of the Pull Request

This PR performs a wholistic polish on the Settings UI by doing the following:

  • Use NavigationView's header to display which page you are currently on (and style it appropriately)
  • Remove back button (deemed unnecessary)
  • Rely more heavily on CommonResources.xaml for consistent styling
  • Replace profile.schemes and profile.backgroundImageAlignment with ComboBox controls (still not bound)
  • Replace Profile-->Appearance page grid layout with a stack
    • I know we desire a reflowable 2-column layout. But that's just too much work for now. I'm focusing on getting the Settings UI in a mergeable/shippable state.
  • General code cleanup (particular focus on .xaml files)

Rather than posting many photos of all the changes, I suggest that you (the reviewer) just download and play with the branch. We shouldn't have any more weird resize scenarios.
