Foreground image in Panorama App - xaml

I am working on Panorama App for Windows Phone 8 and I have to add Foreground image with the background image.I have successfully added the background image but i don't know how to add foreground image in the same layout.Please help.
<phone:Panorama Title="My_app">
<phone:Panorama.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="/My_app;component/Assets/texture.png"/>
</phone:Panorama.Background>
Using this code i am adding background image but don't know how to add foreground image.
I want to add image in the place of title "My_App" .

To set an image instead of a text as title on a panorama control, just add a style to the panorama with a custom title template. For example you can do this by adding the following to the xaml of the page containing the panorama (note: the dots represent any other code):
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage>
...
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
...
<Style TargetType="phone:Panorama" >
<Setter Property="TitleTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Image Source="Assets/logo.png" Stretch="None" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
...
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage>
Hope this helps!

First, add a PanoromaItem, then add an image to that item:
<phone:PanoramaItem>
<Grid>
<Image x:Name="MyImage" />
</Grid>
<phone:PanoramaItem>

OxyPlot in Xamarin Forms WPF project, how to change tracker text color

I'm using OxyPlot in a Xamarin Forms project.
In WPF, the tracker (popup when I click on a datapoint) has a white background with yellow text, making it impossible to see.
In UWP however, it is just fine with a yellow background and black text.
How can I change the font color of the tracker to black?
xmlns:oxy="clr-namespace:OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms;assembly=OxyPlot.Xamarin.Forms"
<oxy:PlotView Model="{Binding MyModel}"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
</oxy:PlotView>
You can change the default colors of Oxyplot Tracker by modifying the Control Template. For example,
<oxy:PlotView Height="500" Width="500" Model="{Binding MyModel}">
<oxy:PlotView.DefaultTrackerTemplate>
<ControlTemplate>
<oxy:TrackerControl Position="{Binding Position}" LineExtents="{Binding PlotModel.PlotArea}">
<oxy:TrackerControl.Background>
<SolidColorBrush Color="LightBlue" />
</oxy:TrackerControl.Background>
<oxy:TrackerControl.Content>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" Margin="7" Foreground="Black" />
</oxy:TrackerControl.Content>
</oxy:TrackerControl>
</ControlTemplate>
</oxy:PlotView.DefaultTrackerTemplate>
</oxy:PlotView>
Of course, you can set the binding as well in the above, but for the sake of example, given the color directly in above example.

WinRT How to make Logout appbar style?

I want to have a logout icon in the appbar.
I was sure it should be in the common styles, but discovered that unfortunately it's not.
So, how can I do it?
I've found this site, where I found the icon I wanted to the logout button, and copied the xaml which gave me the path. Next I added this code to the common:
<Style x:Key="LogoutAppBarButtonStyle" TargetType="ButtonBase" BasedOn="{StaticResource AppBarButtonStyle}">
<Setter Property="AutomationProperties.AutomationId" Value="LogoutAppBarButton" />
<Setter Property="AutomationProperties.Name" Value="Logout" />
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">

</Viewbox.RenderTransform>

It is important to pay attention to the Path's Fill property, it can't be white color, because when we press on it and hold it, the default appbar icons become white, so the color should be changed to black, and therefore, we use this code which get's the foreground color from the parent - AppBarButtonStyle, which already has this logic on appbar icon pressed. This is the code:
Fill="{Binding Path=Foreground, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}}"
One more thing, I have used some renders because the image was a little bit crooked, so I have fixed it by rendering it, maybe not the best way, but now it works perfectly !
The last step was to add this to all the pages I wanted to use the login appbar icon:
<Button Style="{StaticResource LogoutAppBarButtonStyle}" Click="Logout_Click" />

Auto scroll banner images in a windows phone 8 app

I'm trying to implement autoscrolling and snapping to images in a windows phone 8 app
I currently have couple of images in a stackpanel inside a scrollviewer, and I'd like them to auto scroll horizontally every certain amount of time [5 seconds for example] while still being able to scroll and snap manually
this is what I have so far
<ScrollViewer x:Name="featuredScroll" Grid.Row="2" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" >
<StackPanel x:Name="featuredStack" Orientation="Horizontal">
<StackPanel.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Image">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,5,0"/>
</Style>
</StackPanel.Resources>
<Image Source="http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo4w.png"/>
<Image Source="http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo4w.png"/>
<Image Source="http://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo4w.png"/>
</StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>
[images are placeholders]
so what I have now shows a scrollable list of those images [banners] which I can scroll horizontally, any idea how to achieve that ?

How about this option? This is example for Win store apps, but i don't see the reason why you couldn't rewrite it to WP

Panorama Image Title (bind image path)

I was wondering if it's possible to bind the image path when using an Image as the Panorama Title, the reason why I need a bind for the Source is that when the user have the phone background to "white" the logo would be black, and vice versa.
This is the code I'm using:
<controls:Panorama.TitleTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Image Source="/PanoramaApp5;component/Images/logo.png" Margin="14,105,0,10" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="logo" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="700" Height="70"/>
<!--<TextBlock Text="{Binding Content, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" FontSize="100" Margin="10,50,0,0" />-->
</DataTemplate>
</controls:Panorama.TitleTemplate>
If I let the default Title (which is text), it will work just fine, but I need it as an image.
Just set an empty binding for your image source, then assign it using the Title property of your panorama:
<controls:Panorama x:Name="Panorama">
<controls:Panorama.TitleTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Image Source="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
</controls:Panorama.TitleTemplate>
</controls:Panorama>
Then from the code behind:
this.Panorama.Title = new Uri("uri of your picture");
Just to provide an example of a working version, Facebook uses this same method in the header of their Windows Phone application and instead of user binding they automatically pull photos of the user to stick together and use in the pano

Windows8 ListView LineHeight

I have added a ListView to a Metro Style Blank App. Added to the ListView are 3 Strings. I want to change the LineHeight , but cannot find a property. Below is my xaml code.
<Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundBrush}">
<ListView HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="277.167" Margin="235.51,161,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" UseLayoutRounding="False" d:LayoutRounding="Auto">
<ListView.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform SkewX="-0.338" TranslateX="-0.327"/>
</ListView.RenderTransform>
<x:String>test 1</x:String>
<x:String>Test2</x:String>
<x:String>Test3</x:String>
</ListView>
</Grid>
How do I decrease, increase the line height of the strings in the ListView box? I want to decrease the space between the lines.
Thanks
Try editing a ItemContainerTemplate and then play with the properties available like margin and padding.
