Description

Calculator has a bunch of inefficiencies in its styles that hurt performance and maintainability:

  • Unnecessary nested UI containers.
  • Use of LyaoutUpdated events.
  • Unnecessary focus visuals.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the custom control templates in Calculator's XAML files, identify nested containers that can be flattened, remove LayoutUpdated event handlers where possible, and simplify focus visuals.
