Are Resource Dictionaries created for use in a Xamarin Forms application usable in a Win UI 3 application, or are there major syntactical differences in the way Colors, Styles and Templates are declared for each?

Is there a library similar to AiForms.Effect for .NET MAUI?
I am migrating my application from xamarin.forms to .NET MAUI, we were using this library to fit our design with our designer and add styles that are not available by default on some component (like rounded border, color border, borded width on entry, etc...).
However, I can't find a similar library. So I call on your knowledge!
I'm new to Appcelerator Titanium, so one of the considerations that popped into my mind was this: how do I create reusable custom controls for use in Alloy? Take for example in Android:
The ColorPicker is a 3rd-party library that allows me to add it as a control to the .xml file so long as I reference the library. I would also be able to create my own controls and either reuse them locally or distribute them as an external library. Is there a similar concept for Titanium, more specifically for Alloy (i.e. the xml and all)?
Yes there is the concept of creating widgets and which can be reused locally in the projects. There are alot of widgets already available.
One of the important widgets for creation of the application Font Awsome Widget.
You can see the source code as well and check its implementation.
I am hesitant to develop a Windows Phone app in the HTML/WinJS Universal App space because of the difficulty of building complex user controls. Before I go the XAML/C# route, I would like to find out if it is possible to use a user control built in XAML/C# inside of an HTML/WinJS view?
My initial feeling is that it is not possible due to XAML parsing not being available in the HTML space, but I am not certain that this is the case. Any thoughts?
Also, I am not interested in 3rd party solutions such as Xamerin. I am really trying to see if this is possible from a native approach.
No. The HTML and Xaml UI stacks in the Windows Runtime are separate and cannot be mixed. You can call non-UI C# or native Windows Runtime Components from JavaScript.
You can include HTML in a Xaml WebView, but there is no reverse hosting.

I have created a new Silverlight 4 solution using the Business Application template. The requirement is to style the application and not use the generic template theme. I have installed the Silverlight 4 toolkit and like the BureauBlue theme.
How do I apply the BureauBlue toolkit theme to the entire solution? That is, is there a way to apply the theme globally (similar to attaching a CSS file to an ASP.NET or HTML site) instead of applying the theme to each control?
Thanks,
Sid
I have not experimented with this using a site that runs off an application with many user controls, but this seemed to work for my entire application and may help you.
First you have to have the theme reference added (for example, System.Windows.Controls.Theming.BureauBlue.dll)
Then in your code you can add this line of code:
System.Windows.Controls.Theming.BureauBlueTheme.SetIsApplicationTheme(Application.Current, true);
This applies the theme to the current running application, and if the boolean value is false I believe it will remove the theme.
I'm searching for some code samples for my Flash application. The app is based on screen-flows , i.e each screen is defined with some visual elements with some buttons which have async events associated with them(consuming web services basically). The buttons also have functionality to go back and forth between screens and jump to any screen. I want to define all of the visual elements and the functionality of the events in a XML file. Thus the model, view and controller are all in the XML. Does any framework allow this like Pure MVC? Where can I find some examples of this kind of functionality that I want?
There's a Flash implementation of Heirarchical State Machines here, which mentions XML and Flow Control:

(Note: There's a very slick screencasting application called Screenflow which may lay claim on that particular term these days...)
