I have one issue, if I make an mistake in XAML, then project doesn't build, but Output in case of error is hidden. We need way better of knowing something is not right, some popup message…
Show error messages when the Output window is hidden

Theme Designer v19.2.2 is already available for download at https://github.com/DevExpress/wpf-themedesigner-app/releases. If you already have Theme Designer installed, it will suggest upgrading if you restart it.

Hi Devexpress, I can open up another thread, but since you're all here, I'm having issues with Theme Designer and Avira Antivirus, it quarantines the program often lately.
If you can look into it…
Hi again,
At the moment, we show detailed information about such errors in the Output panel. With the default layout, this panel is auto-hidden at the bottom, so it does not take much space. When a building error occurs, it automatically pops up. As far as I understand from your description, you closed this panel on your side instead of hiding it. Please let me know if my assumption is correct.
In addition, please also clarify what behavior you expect to see: show the entire error text in another place, forcibly show the Output panel, etc.
In the meantime, if you accidentally closed the Output panel, you can show it using the Views menu or reset the layout.
Hi Ivan, yes, you are right, sometime I do close Output window unintentionally, and after that I don't get any errors.
Some popup window would be great.
Thank you for the clarification. We tested how Visual Studio and Rider work in this scenario and decided to forcibly show the Output panel in this scenario. We'll update this ticket as soon as we have any news.
@Ivan - Thanks for pointing this out, but yes it would be good if the panel could be shown by force like in VS and Rider. Thanks for looking into this.
