Research direction
Review docs/windows/getting-started.md alongside the reported SettingsCard usage and the linked getting-started page. Clarify which package and resource dictionaries are required for the control, and consider the documentation complete when a first-time user can follow the setup without guessing.

Description
I was just trying to use this toolkit for the first time and I have no idea how. I managed to figure out which Nuget package to add from the gallery app to use SettingsCard control, but I think I also need to merge some resource dictionaries and I can't figure out how and which. Am I missing something obvious? Seems like something that should be improved. I was trying to guess, but the below didn't work:
<ResourceDictionary Source="ms-appx:///CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls.SettingsControls/SettingsCard/SettingsCard.xaml" /
