I have a windows 8 app and I have integrated adduplex with it. Is there a way to control what size of ads are being served by adduplex on my app? Currently I see 300x250 which messes up my UI
Not sure if AdDuplex uses a WebView to present the ads, but if it doesn't then perhaps you could put it in a Viewbox to scale it down.
Got it, it uses the size property, example size="90x720" will do the trick.

I am developing application for Windows Phone 8.1.
I have developed live tile for my app. I am trying to find a way to configure live tile change animation. By default I see kind of Flip animation. It looks a little annoying. I do want to change it.
So, how to configure live tile change animation?
You can't change it, which in my eyes is the best choice for a consistent user experience and performance of the start screen.
Is the image slider that the Windows 8 Camera app uses available as a control within the framework? It has nice transitions between images and provides previous and next buttons.
There is callisto refernce in nuget there you can find flipview like windows 8 app store
There is a FlipView control if you are referring to that.
You have some similar controls already built-in, such as FlipView if you want the previous and next buttons.
But if you want all the features in the image gallery application (with zooming capabilities), you will have to create your own component. I did, and it was quite painful, but sadly I did not have the time to package it properly to share with the community. Maybe someone else did it.
In the Windows 8 Store App certification requirements it states that your app must support a snapped view. My question is that Can we provide the static splash screen page as our snap view throughout the application? Windows accept application with a single page as a snap view?
Snapped View has its purpose ofcourse but in many situations it is hard to deal with it so you could represent data in the best way possible.
They will accept, however, a static screen as the Snapped View. They had with an app of mine and it passed their certification.
Furthermore, if you think about it, even the "Store" app has a static image as a snapped page.
As things stand today, Snapped view is mandatory. Its however at times difficult to implement snapped view. In such situations, the developer can chose to hide everything except something that informs the user to not use snapped view.
I tend to use a simple button that states the same and onclick the app try TryUnsnap to expand out.
Beyond this: 8.1 makes snap support optional
I'm developing metro-style app for Windows 8. Currently I use buttons with arrows for navigation in my app but I want to handle gestures (just like in IE for changing pages, from left to right). How I can achieve this?
If your application is not too complicated, is FlipView an option for you?

Are we only going to be able to create full screen Metro-style applications?
Yes:
Metro style apps are full screen apps tailored to your users' needs, tailored to the device they run on, tailored for touch interaction, and tailored to the Windows user interface.
Otherwise, as John Gardner points out, your app would not be a Metro-style app: if it exists on the desktop, it is by definition a desktop app.
But that's kindof the point of Metro.
You don't always have fullscreen either, because depending on screen size, you can have 2 applications visible.
If you want to use the desktop, you fall back into the standard windows desktop and use standard desktop applicatoins.
Yes but you can re-size your app by using Snap Feature.
I don't know exactly what are your requirements but better look at this and this video
