Description

The launcher has been rewritten with Avalonia in stride3d/stride#2096. However, the styling was roughly done and some visuals aren't great.

In particular, the contextual menu to select a minor version of Stride isn't great and can be buggy as the list grows over time.

The goal of this task is to improve the overall visuals of the Launcher as well as fix any usability issue.

This task is relatively independent from any other tasks in the whole rewrite effort and can be assigned to someone new to Stride.

Tip: Open the Stride.Launcher.sln solution file.

Research direction
Examine the current Avalonia Launcher implementation, particularly the contextual menu component. Review the previous rewrite in stride3d/stride#2096 for context. Identify visual inconsistencies and test the menu's behavior with multiple minor versions to reproduce the bugginess. Then propose and implement improvements to styling and usability.
