Windows App Store - Stretched icon
(4 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have published a Windows 8.1 to Store With all these logo
BadgeLogo.scale-100.png Square310x310Logo.scale-100.png
Logo.scale-100.png Square70x70Logo.scale-100.png
SmallLogo.scale-100.png StoreLogo.scale-100.png
SplashScreen.scale-100.png Wide310x150Logo.scale-100.png
But when I published to the store, it is stretched like this:
I measured this stretched tiled logo (in the screenshot), the dimensions are 310x150 , then I double checked the list the 310x150 wide logo is there. This is supposed to be very simple, but I cannot get it right after several submission to the store. Can the experts out there give me any hint?
Thank you.
It's not your fault.
There is a thread, explaining this issue: Windows App Store - Stretched icon
In summary, it's a Microsoft problem and they're working to fix it.

I look after a website which displays UK Ordnance Survey maps for people going on walks in SW England, and it relies on displaying a marker on an OS map, in response either to an alphanumeric OSGB grid reference, appended as a query string to the name of the HTML file which displays the map, or to a click on the OS map produced by the HTML file, in the absence of a query string. This has all worked well for several years, on both Windows PCs and mobile devices, using OS OpenSpace, which is based on OpenLayers 2, but now Ordnance Survey have decided to enforce a new system based on Open Layers 6, and requiring a complete re-code of the JavaScript. OS provide example code for various scenarios, from which I have re-written my code to run perfectly on a Windows PC with a mouse, but it fails on an iPad or an iPhone, particularly if the iPad is several years old.
Using a current Apple device, I cannot display a scaled vector graphic on an OS map, either at hard-coded co-ordinates, or in response to a tap on a map. A tap will however bring up a pop-up at the tapped point, and a swipe on the map will pan it. Using an iPad several years old, in addition to the above problems, opening two fingers will not zoom the map, and a swipe will not pan it. The only things that work are the + and - buttons on the map.
I have read that I may need to include a Controls section within my Map command, along the lines of:
controls: [
new OpenLayers.Control.TouchNavigation({
dragPanOptions: {
enableKinetic: true
}
}),
new OpenLayers.Control.Zoom()
],
but if I include this code, my JavaScript crashes, and the JavaScript Error Console within MS Edge gives error message 'OpenLayers is not defined'
Ordnance Survey tell me that my problem 'is an issue relating to the mapping library, OpenLayers, rather than our APIs' so my question is, how do I get code based on the OS examples to run on mobile devices of any age, in the same way my existing code based on Open Layers 2 has run for several years?
I will gladly supply a copy of my code which works on a Windows PC, but not on an Apple device, on request.
OpenLayers needs polyfills on older devices/browsers. Try adding
<script src="https://unpkg.com/elm-pep"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.polyfill.io/v2/polyfill.min.js?features=fetch,requestAnimationFrame,Element.prototype.classList,URL"></script>
before the ol.js script. The default controls should be sufficient (the code you have used is Openlayers 2 format and will not work with OpenLayers 6).
In the latest release of Windows Phone microsoft comes with video editing feature, that provides the ability to edit the videos from the app.
I used the dll(Windows.Media.Editing) for editing videos in the app. I take help from the channel 9 video for creating basic video trimming effect. You can found channel 9 video on this link http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2014/2-555.
I searched on google but not found any code related to video editing feature like overlay text on video, apply filters effect, slow motion video and lots more as said by microsoft.
Can anyone please share code, links for editing video for Windows Phone 8.1?
Try Windows.Media.Effects. I found this the other day, which documents adding slow motion effects to a MediaCapture object. It's on the Windows Store site but applies to Windows Phone 8.1. Sorry I have not tried this code out, but there's some example code on the page and it might lead you to other resources, like stabilisation and rotation.
Try with this code
var composition = new MediaComposition();
var clip = await MediaClip.CreateFromImageFileAsync(file, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
clip.VideoEffectDefinitions.Add(new VideoEffectDefinition("GrayscaleTransform.GrayscaleEffect")); composition.Clips.Add(clip);
using the GreyscaleTransform from http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/media-extensions-sample-7b466096/
Please note that I was not able to make this work outside the sample project because of some dependecies stuff that I don't understand
Windows 8 metro style app tiles are created based on pre-defined xml templates (found here).
Is there any way to hook up to Windows' rendering of the tile to allow a tile preview within an app?
In my app I would like to offer the user a subset of the tile templates listed in the above link and let the user customize the tile content. A live preview of the customized tile rendered within my app would greatly improve the user experience.
you should look into HubTile.
I don't know any free control's right now, but Telerik and Syncfusion have HubTile control
You can't get access to real Windows tile rendering, but you can simulate it since all templates are known. It is very unlikely that Microsoft would change the way tiles are rendered and even if they do you should be able to issue app update to keep up with Microsoft.
I've recently uploaded my first Windows 8 Store application (hurray!)
http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/app/doctor-pepper-tattoo/03ed51ee-c1a4-4fb5-b388-76a2ccf10061
The only problem is that although I have specified a valid Small logo (30x30) in app manifest, it does not appear in the Windows Store. This is the file (I hope it was not converted by TinyPic)
http://i50.tinypic.com/35k9b20.png
What could be the problem? Perhaps an unsupported PNG variant? I notice that there a quite a few other apps in the Store with a missing icon (urbaneous, Volksvagen Commerial Vehicles Turkey, etc) so they could be facing a similar issue.
Thanks,
Themos
Since you specified the file in app manifest it should appear when you install the application. If you had submitted the app while submission then it should have appeared on the marketplace. I do't know about the Windows 8 app procedure but since it should not much different from that of windows 7, this is only what I could comprehend. Please install and check the icons. I also hope that icon will be used when a user minimizes your tile to the smallest size on the start screen.
Did you specify the Store Logo in apppackage?
Go here so you can read more about app images.
This is most likely an error on Microsoft's part. You have to make a post on:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsstore/threads
Or wait until MS updates their backend. There is no such thing as an unsupported png, and it can be a number of issues.
This will most likely be fixed before the actual MS Windows 8 release.

Nope, apps can not do anything outside their sandbox.
As the answer to this question explains, you can launch your page you want to save in Safari and provide users with instructions to save the page from there, then use a url to switch apps back to your app from Safari afterwards, but you can't add a webapp to the springboard from your app itself
