I've never had good experiences with templates. They usually have too many dependencies or too many custom tweaks. There's one I'm using on a project at work (was chosen before I joined) and it's a huge mishmash of Bootstrap/Material Design and other stuff. Proper mess.
Much easier to just choose a style framework like Bootstrap and build it yourself.

Use WebView2 instead. It uses the new Edge/Chromium rendering engine - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/
