Duplication of #125 after the diff got messed up for some reason.

This is based on #122 adding a bit more clean up and polish to the UI.

@alvi-khan Hi, when you get some free time, can you kindly review this one?

P.S: Desktop artifacts can be downloaded from the "Checks" > "Summary"

Hey @tecoholic. The UI updates look great! I added a few minor opinions I had above.

Two more things. Firstly, I guess the link under the Screenshots section in the README.md file needs to be updated to ![NER Annotator Screenshot](./public/assets/step-2.png). GitHub wasn't letting me add this as a comment since that line wasn't modified.

Secondly, I think the windows build is failing because of the version number. It seems this is a known issue. I guess we'll have to manually upload the windows builds to the releases section until this version is ready for a full release.

@alvi-khan Thank you for a detailed review. I fixed a number of issues you pointed out and also made a few adjustments to the start page, including disabling the menu items on start page - only "Open File" is allowed.

• Yes. The screenshot link is broken in the README. I think we need to update the screenshots for HelpDialog as well. So, I am planning on doing that once we have the functional changes reviewed and finalized.
• Windows builds - Yeah. That's annoying. I don't have a Windows machine for doing Windows build. Do you happen to have one? And would you be able to test it out? Otherwise, I can remove the pre-release tag from the version and let GitHub handle it.
• I am also thinking of adding a MacOS build for the 2.0 release. What do think about it? There is no work from our side to do it, Tauri's build should handle that in the CI.

• Regarding the screenshot link in the README, looks like our community beat you to it!
• For Windows builds, I do have a Windows machine available. Once the release is published I can edit it and add the Windows installers no worries.
• I think adding a MacOS build would be great! And since the build itself shouldn't take extra work I see no reason to not add it. I do have some concerns regarding Mac-specific issues that might pop up since I don't have a Mac device available to test on which might make debugging a pain.

@alvi-khan I generally agree with your comments on colors. Would you be kind enough to update the PR with the colors you think would be appropriate? I am generally color challenged and that's the reason, I tend to stick to defaults for most things. I tried to communicate certain things with color, but seems to have failed terribly 🫨

I have access to Macs both Intel and ARM ones. So, I can test the builds. No worries.

@tecoholic Hey, I struggle with colors too — it's tricky! And you're being way too hard on yourself. The UI you built, both before and in this update, looks amazing! The modern and user-friendly design you gave this app is a big reason I decided to use it in the first place.

I’ve made a few minor adjustments to the colors where I thought it might help. If you’re good with these changes, I think this is ready to be merged. Thanks so much for putting in all this effort — it really shows!

@alvi-khan Thanks for your kind words and taking the time to make the fixes. You have been a great support in maintaining this project.

Version 2.0.0 released :)
