# UI Architecture
[PT Settings] Rename "Microsoft.PowerToys.Setting.UI.Runner" to "PowerToys.Settings" (#9637)
2021-02-12 00:29:56 +08:00
The UI code is distributed between two projects: [`PowerToys.Settings`](/src/core/PowerToys.Settings) and [`Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI`](/src/core/Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI.Library). [`PowerToys.Settings`](/src/core/PowerToys.Settings) is a WPF .net core application. It contains the parent display window and corresponding code is present in [`MainWindow.xaml.`](/src/core/PowerToys.Settings/MainWindow.xaml) [`Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI`](/src/core/Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI.Library) is UWP applications and contains views for base navigation and modules. Fig 1 provides a description of the UI controls hierarchy and each of the controls have been summarized below :
- [`MainWindow.xaml`](/src/core/PowerToys.Settings/MainWindow.xaml) is the parent WPF control.
- `WindowsXamlHost` control is used to host UWP control to [`MainWindow.xaml`](/src/core/PowerToys.Settings/MainWindow.xaml) parent control.

- [`ShellPage.xaml`](/src/core/Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI/Views/ShellPage.xaml) is a UWP control, consisting of a side navigation panel with an icon for each module. Clicking on a module icon loads the corresponding `setting.json` file and displays the data in the UI.
