What Atlas Toolbox uses internally

The AtlasOS Toolbox primarily uses the following two languages:

1. C# (.NET 8.0)
2. XAML

For development tools and resources, we recommend using:

• Visual Studio Community 2022
  • The Toolbox repo contains the default NuGet packages required.
• .Net 8 Runtime - Included in AtlasOS v0.5.0+
• Windows App SDK 1.6 - Included in AtlasOS v0.5.0+

For demos of UI elements used in the Toolbox, we recommend using:

• WinUI 3 Gallery
• Windows Community Toolkit Gallery
