Brings the General tab in line with the Windows 11 Settings app design for a more native feel:

  • Replaced the four GroupBox cards on the General tab with full-width Windows 11-style setting rows: an icon, title, and description on the left with the control (text box or checkbox) on the right.
  • Grouped the rows under Menu (activation hotkey, menu size, open at screen center, keep menu open) and System (run at startup, check for updates) section headers.
  • Added reusable styles to SettingsViewResources.xaml (SettingsSectionHeaderTextBlock, SettingsCardRowBorder, SettingsCardIconTextBlock, title/description styles) so other tabs can adopt the same look later. The existing SettingsCardGroupBox style remains for the About tab.
  • Updated setting titles and descriptions to friendlier copy, e.g. "Diameter in pixels. 300 to 500 works well on most screens."

Replace the four GroupBox cards with full-width setting rows (icon,
title, description, control) grouped under Menu and System headers,
matching the Windows 11 Settings app. Adds reusable row styles to
SettingsViewResources and friendlier setting descriptions.
