I want to show a text across the middle of the secondary live tile (not the small text at the bottom). I am struggling to find any documenttion of how to do it. I know it was possible in WP 8, but I wonder if this functionality is still available?! I also want to it from code not from XAML.
Are you familiar with the tile template catalog for Windows Runtime apps?

I have a problem with windows taskbar icon/logo size and background. my problem is all windows store app I saw, have smaller icon than normal windows programs. i want to know is there any way to have normal icon for winJS Apps, like other windows programs or microsoft Default Apps
and Is there any way to remove system accent color from background of our app? Without adding full-color image in manifest logo section
as you can see in below image there is huge difference between store Apps and microsoft or normal desktop Apps in the taskbar.
if there is no way, I hope microsoft will fix this because, even if we have a good icon this difference between store apps and other apps can effect on our app usage.
You can turn off the automatic padding as part of your app
Look at the "Target-based assets" section of this page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/controls-and-patterns/tiles-and-notifications-app-assets#Target-based_assets
finally, I find the complete answer, also many thanks to Tobiah Zarlez.
for have similar Icon to Normal desktop app / and Microsoft apps, like (Mail, Photos, Xbox etc) see following image . . .
image link of what you should do to have Normal icon in windows 10 store app
in this process:
for taskbar icon go to "Square 30x30 Logo"
you should fill all 8 images section in there.
in visual studio open " Solution Explorer "
Just change name format of the .targetsize images like this . . .
Square30x30Logo.targetsize-256.png →→ Square30x30Logo.targetsize-256_altform-unplated.png
do it for all four image have ".targetsize" in "Square 30x30 Logo"
note: don't add "_altform-unplated" for ".scale" images like this one →
Square30x30Logo.scale-100.png
I am working in a Windows 8.1 Universal (not silverlight) app Windows Phone, and need to support right-to-left languages such as Arabic. Is there a was, other that setting the flow direction on the entire root frame, that I can alight the text right-to left to reflect this language?
You can set FlowDirection for specific Text to "RightToLeft" not for the entire root frame or you can set HorizontalAlignment to "Right" but this is not a nice way to do it.
Proved your XAML code please ?
In Windows Phone 8 I was using PhotoChooserTask to get images from phone gallery and when I fixed Pixel width and height automatically windows phone start a page for cropping the selected image. Can someone tell me how to enable this option with FileOpenPicker?
Unfortunately the Windows phone 8.1 SDK does not have this operation, and I swear I tried look for it in every where, and the people of MDSN tell me it is impossible.... But you can try two options:
First: In the workflow of FileOpenPicker the user has two options take a image file already exists or take a new picture like the follow pic:
So in this case you do nothing and talk to UX area that is impossible to do =) .
Second: You can create a module(separated project) in the same Project Solution which uses the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK (instead 8.1). Do what you need to get the job done using the PhotoChooserTask... After in the main project add a reference to it and be happy.
Some big projects are using this solution because the 8.1 SDK removed a lot of features of 8.0 SDK and did some things hard to do.
One project you should take a look in the source code is https://telegram.org/apps
I hope it helps.
Good Luck!
Why is the default button visual behavior on click different in Windows Phone 8.1 "universal" apps? Is there some way to restore it to the behavior consistent with all other versions of Windows Phone/Windows 8 or do I need to create a new custom control?
Windows Phone 7/8/8.1 Silverlight/Windows 8.1: Button background flashes a complementary color based on theme, button stays fixed.
Windows Phone 8.1 "universal": Button background doesn't change color, tilt effect is applied to the button displacing it based on where the user has touched it.
I'm a beginner developer with some experience in developing WP7/WP8 apps, trying to make my first universal app for WP8.1/Windows 8.1. I verified this behavior in VS2013 Update 2 RC with a new Windows Store App, new WP8.1 Silverlight app, new WP8.1 universal app and one of my existing WP8 apps by just creating a new button object in xaml. Appreciate any help!
In my own test, the button does change color to the PhoneAccentBrush resource.
But if you want to remove the tilt effect, you should just edit the style of the button. Since you claim to be a beginner, I'll explain how to easily change the style using VS2013. Maybe you don't know this yet.
Right-click your Button in the designer, goto Edit Template... on the menu, then select Edit a Copy...
This will generate the standard button style in your xaml which you can edit. FYI, this will change your document outline to the button style outline. (See Document Outline window in VS2013.) To go back to the page outline, click the up arrow icon at the top of the outline.
Anyways, find the < VisualState x:Name="Pressed"/ > line and then comment out the PointerDownThemeAnimation line.
Done!
I have developed wp8 app and looking for a control to slide. I am showing single verse in the page and I want the user to slide (forward and backward) to show next verse, verses may reach 286. I have seen this feature in many application in windows phone store, but I don't what wp8 control they are using.
appreciate your feedback!
Panorama is that you have one image in the background you move a little everytime you go to one side, it is what is used in the image app.
But since you need 286, you should not use the panorama control. Then you should rely on the pivot but beware of microsoft not wanting the users to be confused and caught inside 286 pages, so you need to give the user and overview and use a button that can return a person to the start page.
