You can't have transparent tiles in Windows Store apps.

I'm making a universal Windows Runtime 8.1 version of our app, originally an iOS app. I'm trying to find out how to display a page modally in the app.
In iOS, I'd use presentViewController:animated:completion: and dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion:, but I can't find an equivalent in WinRT. I've seen the task mapping which only mentions navigation frames (they're the equivalent of using pushViewController:, which isn't what I want) and I've seen this question which talks about a ContentDialog class, but that's only available for phone apps, not universal ones.
How do I show a page modally in a universal app?
There are many ways we can access Camera in Windows Phone 8 / 8.1. Most of them launch specific UI for that.
Is there any way we can access camera without displaying anything related to camera in Windows Phone 8/8.1 ?
I want my camera to capture an image when my application opens.
We are building a Windows 8.1 mobile app. We are trying to open a local html file in the browser programmatically but do not know how to achieve this functionality. Please let us know how we can implement the same.
Thanks.
You can display web content using the WebBrowser control for Windows Phone 8

OK. Questions.
I know there is no CameraCaptureUI in Windows phone 8.1, so I have to use MediaCapture class. That's fine but what about UI? Do I have to make and position button in my screen from scratch?(like flash button, front camera button etc)
About Nokia Imaging SDK. does it provide any UI? and can I use that API for taking picture instead of working directly with MediaCapture?. I tried to find out some information about initializing and taking picture using nokia imaging sdk, but I couldn't find.
Can you let me know any useful link for implementing MediaCapture in windows phone 8.1? There are lots of links but only for silverlight 8.0 not 8.1.
You can use FileOpenPicker and if you specify .png and .jpg in the list of file types, the picker will have a camera capture button that will open standard camera capture UI:
FileOpenPicker picker = new FileOpenPicker();
picker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".png");
picker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".jpg");
picker.ContinuationData["Data"] = "Something"; // Will be passed back to the app after the picker finishes
picker.PickSingleFileAndContinue();

I just started developing wp8 apps coming from android. What is the equivalent UI control for an app drawer (android) to be able to quickly change from page to page? I'm looking for the control used to change from page to page in OneNote
EDIT: I found out that Windows phone 8.1 offers flyouts which can be made to look like an app drawer.
The equivalent to the android app drawer is probably the windows phone appbar, but the appbar in windows phone is not used for navigation - only settings like actions.
In windows phone, navigation is done primarily through your own interface, with heavy use of the BACK button to go to previous pages. The main class you use in windows phone is the NavigationService
I don't believe the OneNote uses standard UI components, so you would probably have to create your own
There are plenty of solid resources online that should help. Start here:
