Fluent UI for Surface Duo helps developers make dual-screen apps

Microsoft released its Fluent UI framework for the Surface Duo this week. The framework helps developers create apps that work well on dual-screen devices like the Surface Duo. Fluent UI for Surface Duo includes nine Fluent UI controls enhanced for dual-screen devices. Fluent UI also helps developers create apps that are consistent across platforms.

A devblog mail from Microsoft explains all of the Fluent UI controls. There are controls, such as AppBarLayout that stops search inputs from extending nether the hinge of devices similar the Surface Duo, and DateTimePicker that prevents popups from appearing nether a device's hinge.

Hither are all of the controls, equally outlined by Microsoft:

Command	Description
AppBarLayout	Search input box does not extend under the hinge
BottomSheet	E'er appears on the right screen, and never under the hinge
CalendarView	Can be spanned nether hinge and mean solar day columns adapt
Drawer	Drawer appears on a single screen
PeoplePickerView	Persona fries will avoid being placed under the hinge
DateTimePicker	Popups will not appear nether the swivel
PopupMenu	Menus will avoid actualization under the swivel
Snackbar	The snackbar will only prove on a unmarried screen, and not appear spanned under the hinge
Tooltip	Tooltips avert appearing under the hinge

If you want to run into what these expect like in activeness, you can look at Microsoft's Fluent UI sample app on GitHub.
