Description:
Enable developers to define a standard task bar at the top of the Universal GUI, similar to the task bar in the Windows application.
Rationale:
A consistent top-level task bar improves navigation and user experience. It provides quick access to frequently used actions, enhances branding, and aligns Universal more closely with the Windows GUI experience.
Additionally, it helps prevent redundancy such as having the same buttons repeated across the screen by centralizing common actions in a single, reusable interface element.
-example of duplicate buttons across screen views
-old windows lint
Suggested Implementation:
- Allow developers to configure task bar contents in the Software Factory.
- Support buttons, icons, dropdowns, and user-specific actions.
- Make it optionally persistent across screens or context-sensitive.
- Include styling options to match application themes.
- The lint reacts to the selected detail view on the screen
