Using the UWP Resources Gallery

Another great tool to help WinUI developers while they are styling their application is the UWP Resources Gallery. While this tool does have UWP and not WinUI in its name, all the resources you can discover in the tool also exist in WinUI 3.0. This app is open source and is available on the Windows Store at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/uwp-resources-gallery/9pjjl433vx9r. A WinUI developer named Marcel Wagner maintains the open source project on GitHub at https://github.com/chingucoding/UWP-Resources-Gallery.

After installing the app, you will see that there several are types of resources you can browse or search:

Icons: In this section, you can search for Segoe MDL2 icons such as the Home and Edit symbols we used in our application. Select an icon from the list to display details about how it can be used in XAML or C#:
