…nation to make WinUtil (and MicroWin) the best software it can be!
…n the sponsors list a link to ChrisTitusTech's Sponsors web link
…ateButtonFontSize' - Lower its value from 16 to 14
…ake link hover color more noticeable
- Made a lot of theming/styling choices for Custom Dialogs exposed as parameters. - Update the documentation for these new parameters in 'Show-CustomDialog' Function. - Add a Link Hover Effect using 'Add_EVENT' methods (This can be tweaks/tuned-down if needed). - Made use of 'Title' Parameter for 'Show-CustomDialog' Function inside 'scripts/main.ps1' script, to change Dialog Window Title. - Now you can change the Logo Size of WinUtil through the 'LogoSize' Theming Option (the option was there, but not used in implementation).

This is a good change. LGTM. Thanks, @og-mrk!
By the way, I like the mention in the About screen
I like this, but I had an Idea that we also may implement to combine styling logic of main window and customdialog. What do you think about it? Copied this from discord server convo: We could move the styles to a ressource director, making the existing xaml file easier to understand and maintanance on style/actual content easier. That entire resource directory could be then loaded into the xaml of the main window and the customdialog, making it's theming also way easier and identical to main window ones. Can't really look into it rn, but this is what chatgpt suggested.

Note
The goal of this PR (Polishing UI) will require multiple days of continuous trial & error before finalizing the changes.. so I'll open this PR as draft for the time being.
Type of Change
Description
Makes several changes to the UI to polish the looks & feels of GUI.
Add @CodingWonders to the About Dialog (under MicroWin) - commit b001842
Add a Link Hover Effect for About & Sponsors Windows
Commit Summery
Testing
So far, WinUtil Compiles and runs successfully, on both PS 5 & 7.
Note
at the time of writing, compiling in PowerShell 5 does not work, this problem was fixed by @ruxunderscore in his PR (#2865), and it's waiting to be reviewed & merged, so for the time being... I recommend either compiling/running WinUtil from PowerShell 7 (PWSH), or applying Rux 's patches to compile & run under PowerShell 5.
Impact
This'll improve the user experience a bit by making the UI more polished.
Additional Information
If anyone has the time to test this PR & provide feedback on the changes, then it'll be appreciated 😄
