Include SukiUI styles in your App.axaml

<Application
    ...
    xmlns:sukiUi="clr-namespace:SukiUI;assembly=SukiUI"
    >
    <Application.Styles>
        <sukiUi:SukiTheme ThemeColor="Blue"  />
    </Application.Styles>
</Application>

Use SukiWindow as MainWindow

Change MainWindow from Window class to SukiWindow class.

Original MainWindow.axaml:

<Window
    x:Class="SukiTest.MainWindow"
    xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
</Window>

Modified MainWindow.axaml:

<sukiUi:SukiWindow
    x:Class="SukiTest.MainWindow"
    xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
    xmlns:sukiUi="clr-namespace:SukiUI.Controls;assembly=SukiUI"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
</sukiUi:SukiWindow>

Original MainWindow.axaml.cs:

using Avalonia.Controls;

namespace SukiTest;

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}

Modified MainWindow.axaml.cs:

using SukiUI.Controls; 

namespace SukiTest;

public partial class MainWindow : SukiWindow
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}
