Day 3

Hours worked/Total: 3/6

Day Recap

Outcome: I got Nativewind set up and working with initial styles. However, I hit a roadblock when trying to customize the window title bar in React Native Windows.

What I Did

  • Attempted to find a way to customize the window title bar and make the window background black
  • Searched for solutions online, but couldn't find any React Native Windows components for this purpose
  • Discovered that customizing the title bar can only be done in native Windows code (C++)

Remarks

Front End designers block is real.

Similarly to Writers Block, you spend hours trying to customize a simple UI element. But to no Avail.

The deeper you go, the more you might question your life choices

A seemingly straightforward goal like making a custom title bar can send you down a rabbit hole of obscure GitHub issues and unanswered Stack Overflow questions.

But here's the thing:

99% of the time. This extra effort rarely brings value to your end user.

So instead of wasting your time, you can:

  • take a step back and re-evaluate your priorities.
  • ditch the framework

In case of React Native, it's better to flight than fight.

Next Goals

  • Stop wasting time on Windows native UI elements, give React Native another chance and start with basics
