AvaloniaUI AvaloniaNavigationBar Project

Motivation

This NavigationBar was inspired by my friends Vicky and James' WPF NavigationBar. In addition to this, we have long been contributing together to WPF technology research, open-source activities, and activities such as NuGet packages. I would like to express my gratitude to my friends.

Introduction

This project is an example implementation of a user-friendly AvaloniaNavigationBar using the AvaloniaUI framework. AvaloniaUI is a powerful and flexible tool for cross-platform desktop application development. In this example, we demonstrate how to create a bottom navigation bar using the ListBox control, enhancing the efficiency and accessibility of the user interface.
