5 months ago is this project dead as it has to be updated for very long time or there is a willing further development ?
The project isn't dead, I still have plans for it, it's just that I'm currently extremely busy with other things but hopefully I will continue its development soon, I already have a working WIP test for the previewer but nothing near done.
Also congrats to you for winning Microsoft's MVP award.
Thank you!
As a novice windows theme modder i discovered DirectUI and its presence in Windows11 UI despite the fact that its quite old, this tool has been essential for duixml editing after finding it out some months ago (yes there have been similar tools produced by the community like this but your tool is the most recently development and perfectly working), but the problem is that there is neither documentation nor a decent guide for duixml editing windows resources after quite of thorough searching on google only just small articles and helpful comments.
Trial and error is a necessity to reaching a decent level to understand the Microsoft's implementation of duixml in Windows and the DuiXml Previewer as you have marked in project's progress table would not only be relieving as it will save hours of effort but an one of a kind feature for Dui modding on the internet and definitely will bring more people closer to this tool. As for the duixml color helper feature it would be easy to implement as there is a tool for that (probably you are familiar with it). So with no intention of demanding anything is this project dead as it has to be updated for very long time or there is a willing further development ? On my side there's anticipation and excitement for future updates and im very grateful for this tool.
Also congrats to you for winning Microsoft's MVP award.
