UI

Intro

some words to UI....

starting a game starts every of the five screens at the same time ! (Map/System/...)

inside the screens it is mostly jumping to the last selected tab (e.g. System: Production or Shipbuilding)
- these complete screens are done by different parts:
  - left top: Template like SystemInfo
  - left bottom: Template like BuildQueue
  - right: ProductionScreen
  - right bottom: Planets...

Theme

Themes are appearance of each Empire's UI.

Common stuff is content of Global.xaml

Empire's themes are defined in Shared.xaml
