Checkout this Discussion: https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui/discussions/2448

• Modern Look & Feel - Apps built with Terminal.Gui now feel modern thanks to these improvements:
  • TrueColor support - 24-bit color support for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Legacy 16-color systems are still supported, automatically. See TrueColor for details.
  • User Configurable Color Themes - See Color Themes for details.
  • *Enhanced Unicode/Wide Character support *- Terminal.Gui now supports the full range of Unicode/wide characters. See Unicode for details.
  • Line Canvas - Terminal.Gui now supports a line canvas enabling high-performance drawing of lines and shapes using box-drawing glyphs. LineCanvas provides auto join, a smart TUI drawing system that automatically selects the correct line/box drawing glyphs for intersections making drawing complex shapes easy. See Line Canvas for details.
  • Enhanced Borders and Padding - Terminal.Gui now supports a Border, Margin, and Padding property on all views. This simplifies View development and enables a sophisticated look and feel. See Padding for details.
  • Modern File Dialog - Terminal.Gui now supports a modern file dialog that includes icons (in TUI!) for files/folders, search, and a TreeView`. See FileDialog for details.
• Configuration Manager - Terminal.Gui now supports a configuration manager enabling library and app settings to be persisted and loaded from the file system. See Configuration Manager for details.
• Simplified API - The entire library has been reviewed and simplified. As a result, the API is more consistent and uses modern .NET API standards (e.g. for events). This refactoring resulted in the removal of thousands of lines of code, better unit tests, and higher performance than v1. See Simplified API for details.
