Could someone explain to me how to use ColorPaletteResources in UWP apps and AcrylicBrushes? I would like to create my own theme colors like backgrounds, textbox transparencies, buttons backgrounds, etc., but it's been a headache trying to learn how to use it and apply it since MS documentation doesn't show much information about it. I'll be happy also if someone knows about some courses or tutorials about how to create fluent design themes.

I am using template 10 for developing a UWP app and i'm using hamburger template so when a user clicks on a particular category i would like to navigate him to a event list in a master detail view where on left is complete event list in that category and on right selected event details.There is a sample provided and its difficult to understand and don't know how to use the sample in my app along with hamburger navigation.Also as an extra feature if the user clicks on a particular category the hamburger panel should hide and masterdetail view of event should come.And when user click on back button the panel should appear again with that page.
If anyone could help me it would be of great help.Thanks in advance.
There is a really detailed sample in the repository. It has 2 examples in total. 1 a control being developed by a community member. The other is a design based around using basic XAML with visual states along with responsive triggers for screen sizing.
I've implemented the response non-usercontrol variant and it works very well. The other control based scenario has some good features and is being updated often for feature additions and corrections.
Master Detail Sample
I think what you might be looking for here is a slightly simpler thing that we are able to give you. Master/Detail is certainly not splitting the atom. That being said, it's not just a drag and drop thing either. Your are going to need to take a look at the sample. Try to reproduce it exactly into a blank project. It's a great resource, but it's not a control for you to use as much as a sample for you to refer to. I certainly wish I had a simpler answer for you, but this is going to take a little effort on your side to understand the mechanics and implement it. In the end, once you pass that "ah ha" moment, I think you will look back and realize it's simpler than you thought. But until you understand how it works at a fundamental level, it's just going to continue to confuse you. I agree with #mvermef that the visual-state approach (the primary approach) is the easiest and uses the skills you will want to learn for future development, too. But, to that end, please recognize there are TWO approaches in that sample. One uses view-states and the other uses a custom user control. If I were you, don't pick the second approach. The first approach will be easy to understand, easy to implement, and wonderfully helpful to understand for other things later down the road.
currently i'm developing an windows 10 uwp apps, and i'm getting trouble ini designing my apps
i'm planning to make some kind of a image slider or whatever it names, just like in the Store apps, on the top page. it looks like a banner slide or something.
but i hardly find it on tutorials anywhere in the internet nor in documentation.
i think and believe that this using a pivot, but i'm confuse how to style it. so if someone probably knows, how to achieve this, please kindly answer it.
thank you
you must use FlipView control.
Please check the documentation.

Frankly speaking I am not sure if this is the right question for this forum. If its not, feel free to point me as to where to post it. I am just looking for an image that has all the controls provided by WinJS (e.g., rating, toggle switch, list view, flip view etc). On MSDN I find places where it list all controls (like this) but not an image that shows all these controls. May be I am not using right keywords during my google search. Anyone has any links for this?
This may not be an exhaustive list, but one of the presentations of the Windows 8 Training Kit includes a Windows 8 UI presentation where many (all?) of the widgets are covered. When you download, it's in the Presentations\05 - UI Controls folder. Here's one of the slides to give you a feel of what's there:
I am creating a multiplayer chess game in Visual Basic.Net and I need to create tiles for the game.
Earlier, I used buttons for the tiles, but then I realized that not only did they look ugly, but the coding part also became a problem. Also, the images of the chess pieces didn't properly fit on the buttons and they became distorted. Also, shifting the image to a different button every time a move was played also became very inefficient.
So, in view of these difficulties, I want to build a proper board, but I have no idea where to start from or what controls to use for the design. Any suggestions?

You don't wany to use controls for the pieces you should just draw the image directly onto your form. You then have full control of exactly where everything is drawn.
You need to hold some form of data structure that 'remembers' where all your pieces are.
Have a look at this link to GDI+ to help get you started
I would suggest it might be too complicated for a school project. Maybe if you reduce the scope - try for just human vs human.
Anyway,

I have more links but i cant post any links anymore. It's limited to 2 links only. Im sorry.
I have a very particular application I have developed. I want to create a second app, ideally in visual basic, that provides a tutorial/ guide on how to use my original app step by step.
I imagine PowerPoint slide style images embedded in a simple window with forward & back controls.
I have experience in java, C & VB. Ideally the app needs be be kept simple and written in VB. Can anyone recommend a starting point, or if any tutorials for such exist? I've had a search and nothing stands out.
Thanks.
So, if this essentially just has slides and annotations and forward/backward buttons, why try to write an app for this? (I get that it might be fun to try.) You could simply do screen captures and annotate them and use PowerPoint and create an executable out of that to run.
You can even, I understand, create hyperlinks and such to allow the slide show to progress more like the real app does. I'm no "power point ranger" so I'd point you at the Office docs to learn about that, but I've seen some pretty good tutorials using this method.
