Modify your App.axaml

Include SukiUI styles in your App.axaml

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

WARNING

If a default ThemeColor is not set and you do not set the theme by any other means, your window and many controls will be completely transparent.

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();
    }
}
