Abstract

Themes provide a consistent display for all of the pages within your app. Controls provide a way for users to interact with your app. Panels hold the controls. Together, they help you define your UI. This chapter takes a quick look at the theme options and then dives deep into the panels and controls offered out of the box for the Windows 8.1 app.
