I just recently started dual booting Fedora KDE, so I sometimes am on Windows but this is a great reason to boot into Windows 😁

@nlogozzo didnt realise Thank you was italian, lol.

On a serious note, how was the experience of refactoring your entire app design to fit a separate design language twice?

@thisisartman My phone is in Italian so that’s probably why 😅

It wasn’t to bad…WindowsAppSDK has great C++ support now so it was as easy as Qt.

I write the apps with model view controller to begin with so all of the heavy code stays in the models and controllers so it makes it super easy to add and remove UIs as I please!

@nlogozzo haha, that explains it. I have the same issue at times... I have Japanese set up as my secondary language and KDE Connect on Windows thinks that is the display language to use 🤣.
Microsoft actually improved their app platform?! (they still don't use it for any of their own apps so tough luckl there tho)
Awesome! Good to hear you didn't have to waste time. I've heard of so many great projects abandoned because of the stubbornness of Windows App Platform.
