The creator (2026-10-21), on Live -> Layers -> webcam -> Properties: "the Y and H boxes under webcam properties should be the same width as the X and W boxes and those widths should be fixed to accomodate the max number of possible digits providing the geometry values" "also the border color drop drown box content should also include the name of the color next to the hex value as they in the drop-down list box" TASK 61 - one fixed width for the four geometry fields. The row is a DockPanel, and WPF sizes an element to its CONTENT unless it is told otherwise, while the LAST child of a DockPanel fills the remaining space. So X/W (not last) were as wide as their text and Y/H (last) stretched across the row - two widths for the same kind of field. Now all four carry Width="44" and the rows set LastChildFill="False" (without it the last field ignores its own Width and fills anyway). 44px is the measured width of "-1920" in the app's font at 11px (the largest geometry value - the master frame is 1920x1080 - plus a sign) plus the field's padding and border. Docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.controls.dockpanel.lastchildfill The guard MEASURES the widest value with WPF's FormattedText instead of asserting a magic number, so a font change cannot silently make the field too narrow: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.media.formattedtext TASK 62 - the border field names its colour. SceneElement.BorderColorName carries the palette's name for the current colour ("Crimson") and is raised when the colour changes; it is EMPTY for a custom hex the creator typed, because "no name" is the honest answer. BorderColorPalette.NameOf changed to match (it used to fall back to the hex itself; the TASK 60 test assertion was updated with it). The hex field keeps a fixed width (60) so the name sits right next to the hex instead of drifting to the row's far edge - the same trap as TASK 61. Guards: ytLive.Tests/GeometryFieldWidthTests.cs, ytLive.Tests/BorderColorNameTests.cs Full suite: 435/435 passed, 0 warnings.

Controls — index
The phase-2 carved pieces of what used to be one monolithic MainWindow.xaml
(1,681 lines → a 123-line shell). Each is a UserControl in the ytLive.Controls
namespace, extracted one roll-back commit at a time (refactor-commit-12..18).
See schema.md for the memory-map conventions.
| File | Purpose |

BottomBar.xaml(.cs) |
Footer (Row 3): stream stats (bitrate/fps/dropped/duration/health), resolution dropdown (gear menu moved up to TopBar 2026-09-22) |
HealthBanner.xaml(.cs) |
Row 1 status banner + the 7 value→visibility converters live in the app theme, not here |
TopBar.xaml(.cs) |
Row 0 session surface (2026-09-22 redesign): brand + gear menu (left), one segmented REC |
PreviewPane.xaml(.cs) |
Row 1 Col 1 center: the 1920×1080 OverlayCanvas/SelectionOverlay/BrandFlashLayer/SocialBarElement, text pull-out drawer, and the live-controls row (TRAX / game / mic meters + sliders + speakers + socials). TASK 57: dragging a webcam under the vertical tier routes through MainViewModel.MoveWebcamInVerticalTier (the six-spot snap inside the cropped band) instead of free-floating over the master, and a resize re-snaps the tile onto its spot (TASK 57 Unit 2: the resize routes through MainViewModel.ResizeWebcamInVerticalTier — the Chat camera's two sizes, then the snap) |
SceneThumbnailStrip.xaml(.cs) |
Row 0 scene-picker strip (ItemsControl over Scenes), staged-red / live-green border highlight |
LeftPanel.xaml(.cs) |
Row 1 Col 0 left panel: edit mode → layers+properties; live → YouTube chat. Source add/edit/remove, list drag-to-reorder, snapshot revert-accept. TASK 51: the webcam properties carry the Background section — RemoveBackgroundPill / BlurBackgroundPill (PillToggle, radio-exclusive via WebcamSceneConfig.RemoveBackground/BlurBackground) + BackgroundStrengthSlider (0..1, 5% snaps, shown only while an effect is on). TASK 57: the webcam properties carry a Geometry section (X/Y/W/H) — manual placement of the camera, bound to the live placement (the one the current tier shows), gated on IsWebcamSelected (not SelectedElement.IsWebcam — the TASK 51 test finds that panel by binding text and would match twice); the Shape button's Visibility is bound to CanToggleClipShape, so the circle option is NOT OFFERED in the vertical Chat layout. TASK 58: every drop-down, check box and field in the properties panel carries the theme's style (YtComboBox/YtCheckBox/YtTextBoxCompact) and paints no colour of its own — the guard is ytLive.Tests/PropertiesStyleTests.cs. TASK 59: the webcam's properties are a HIERARCHY — a Shape title owns the mirror switch and the shape choice (Rect |

Window ↔ control contract
The shell (MainWindow.xaml(.cs)) wires up each control and routes the few
cross-cutting calls through it:
- Ctor finds each control by
x:Name(TopBar,PreviewPane,LeftPanel) AFTERInitializeComponent, before any method touches it (null-ref guard). _previewPane.IsClickInsidePreview/Drawer+_leftPanel.IsClickInside→ deselection guard inWindow_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown._previewPane.UpdateSelectionOverlay(bool)+_leftPanel.OnSelectionChanged(vm)→ selection/edit-mode routing from the VM'sSelectedElementchange._topBar.RefreshAvatar()onIsConnected/AccountAvatarUrlchange.- Handlers in moved controls cast
(DataContext as MainViewModel)— controls inherit the window's DataContext; never pass the VM through a property.
Gotchas learned the hard way
- A UserControl cannot see
Window.Resources(StaticResource resolves by element lookup, so it stops at the control boundary). The 7 converters (BoolToVis,InverseBoolToVis,NotNullToVis,NullToVis,HiddenBoolToVis,EnumToBool,AllTrueToVis) were promoted fromMainWindow.ResourcesintoThemes/Controls.xaml(seeThemes/index.md). - Moved XAML can lose its namespace: a block cut from MainWindow carries no
root xmlns, so any
models:/Helpers:ref in it breaks the build withMC2000: Value cannot be null (key). Declarexmlns:models/xmlns:Helperson each control's root (LeftPanel hit this). - Name-looked-up host stubs must stay in the window, not a control:
WebViewHostPanel(ctorInitWebView2(WebViewHostPanel)) andToastArea(NotificationService.InArea("ToastArea")) are resolved by name from the window root — soOverlayHostdeliberately leaves them as thin window-root children (Commit 18). Since the 2026-09-14 composition-capture redesign onlyToastArearemains —WebViewHostPanelis deleted (web sources no longer host a multiline XAML control;InitWebView2()runs fromMainWindow_Loadedwith no panel argument). - When cutting visual wrappers, don't drop the outer
Border's background/glow/margin — Commit 15 initially lost the preview's outer border and had to restore it same-commit.
