DeskUI

OS‑style multi‑window UI for Blazor.
Draggable. Resizable. Themed. Simple.

Setup (Blazor Server / WebAssembly)

Import the namespace in _Imports.razor

@using DeskUI

builder.Services.AddScoped<WindowManager>();

Add the window host in your main page (e.g. Index.razor) ClassicLight is the default theme, but you can specify another one:

<WindowHost Theme="@Themes.ClassicLight" />

Import the theme stylesheet:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="_content/DeskUI/themes.css" />

<script src="_content/DeskUI/drag.js"/>

Inject the WindowManager where you need to open windows

@inject WindowManager WindowManager

Usage

Task OpenFirstWindow() => WindowManager.OpenWindowAsync<FirstForm>("FirstComponent", 240, 335);
Task OpenSecondWindow() => WindowManager.OpenWindowAsync<SecondForm>("SecondComponent (Modal)", 550, 250, allowClose: false, overlayed: true);

Theme Support

DeskUI includes a full CSS-variable based theming system. You can choose one of the built‑in themes or define your own.

Available built‑in themes:

Themes.ClassicLight
Themes.ClassicDark
Themes.WindowsCE

Create your own theme

You can override any of the theme variables defined in themes.css.

.my-custom-theme {
    --win-bg: #fafafa;
    --header-bg: #e8e8e8;
    --close-color: #444;
    /* ...override any variables you want... */
}

Then apply it:

<WindowHost Theme="my-custom-theme" />
