title: Implementing a Desktop TabView in .NET MAUI
body: <p>I just got started with .NET MAUI. From the get-go I'm already having difficulty making the Windows deployment look like a typical Windows desktop app, which I find odd as it seemed to be largely marketed as achieving a native look on each platform.</p>
  <p>I'm just trying to implement a TabView that look like this, for the Desktop version of the app - this is from the WinUI gallery, which to my understanding MAUI uses:</p>

  <p>Or alternatively, like the classic WinForms one:</p>

  <p>But unfortunately any Google search related to .NET MAUI seems to either focus on mobile deployments and aesthetics (e.g. <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/user-interface/pages/tabbedpage" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/user-interface/pages/tabbedpage</a>):</p>

  <p>Is it at all feasible to achieve the desktop aesthetics for the desktop version of a MAUI app? So far it feels like MAUI is actually a mobile UI framework that happens to run on desktops.</p>
