[Q] Theme-aware icons - Windows Phone 7 Software Development

Hi guys.
Does anyone know how to create theme-aware png icons for applications? Like Microsoft built-in apps icons - the icon background color same as theme accent color...
I've tried a few things like an adding alpha-layer to png but have no success. Please post the instructions and example.
Thanks!

I found an answer to my question: it's not possible and not allowed by Microsoft :-(
Here are list of all possible templates, we can use only TemplateType5 (for file WMAppManifest.xml)
TemplateType1 - no image visible, accent colour tile, caption text, no count
This seems to be a default style for the internal apps, it uses the title attribute as well as an IconImageURI for a transparent png image on top of the accent colour tile
This template is also used for Emails and Text Messages, the large number is in the attribute Number
TemplateType2 - image is shown, grey tile colour, caption text, no count
This is used for the Microsoft Office live tile, and contains an IconImageURI and a BackgroundImageURI. It can contain a Title attribute also, but a count does not appear. It does not seem to animate at all
TemplateType3 - image is shown, grey tile colour, caption text, count in accent colour circle
This is the Games or Xbox Live Tile design. It has a BackgroundImageURI for the backing, the Title for the text bottom left, An ImageURI for the xbox live logo, and an AvatarImageURI for the image of the avatar that animates and interacts with the logo
TemplateType4 - no image visible, double width, accent colour tile, no caption, no count
This is the Calendar template. The only property I can find for it is AppointmentTitle. This is where the text "Calendar" is displayed
TemplateType5 - default and only one allowed to be used!
This is the only template you are allowed to use for the moment. It has a grey tile, with a BackgroundImageURI, a Title attribute, and a Count attribute for the small number in the top right, on a circle in the accent colour
TemplateType6 - default but double width, not allowed like the others at the moment
This is the template for the Pictures Tile design. It uses a BackgroundImageURI and the Title attribute.
TemplateType7 - image visible, grey tile colour, caption visible, no count shown
This is the Zune Style Tile. It has an ImageURI for an icon in the top left, and BackgroundImageURI for animated backgrounds. The animation style is random when you leave and return to the Start Screen
TemplateType8 - image visible, grey tile colour, extra large caption text at top, no count shown
I think this is a template for when you pin a contact to your home screen, I am not sure what attributes to add in order for it to animate
TemplateType9 - image visible, grey tile colour, caption visible, no count shown
Not sure what is special about this template, it can use a backing colour, and title, but can't find anything else it can do
TemplateType10 - People Tile design and animation (not sure how you populate images)
This is the Contacts Tile design, you have the title but also Photo01ImageURI upto 09 I guess, but it may support more and choose randomly from that list of Photo Image URIs
TemplateType11 - no image, accent tile colour, large caption like single contact tile, no count
This also looks like a Contact pinned to the Start Screen Tile, except it uses an accent colour, and does not support backgrounds or icons. The large caption text appears at the bottom

It is possible, just add an alpha layer in the .png and it will render bg in accent color (note: there's a bug that prevent the accent color to show in the app list, but it works perfectly if you add it to the "start page")

Edit: scrap that just realised you were talking about application tile icons. For the small tile, no it cannot be done, but if they pin your icon to the start page it'll take on the accent colour if it's background is transparent.
create two images, 1 dark and 1 light. Then using a Bool like
public static bool IsLightTheme
{
var v = Application.Current.Resources["PhoneLightThemeVisibility"]
If (v == Visibility.visible)
return true;
Else
return false;
}
You can then switch images depending on the theme selected.

I'm not running MIUI, but maybe it would be handy to take a look at another theme to see how it should be?

			
				

			
				
I'm having the same exact issue...I have a theme that I love, but want some changes made..So I modified all the png's within the .mtz file, and reapply the theme but no changes take effect..I dont understand at all. I think the pictures are cached out somewhere...

			
			
			
			
			
			


				
			
			
			
			
			

			
		

	
		

			
[Q] Icon formats
			
			
			
				
I want to make some neon glow sign type tiles for my home screen but would really like to have them animated (i.e. fade in-out transition or blinking). Most icons are static & I wanted to know if animated icons could be used. If so what format does it have to be in order to work? I have Photoshop & Image Ready to create the animated gif (if in fact animated gifs are supported as icons)

			
			
			
			
			
			
			
			



			
			
			

			
		

	
		

			
Fancy Widgets Skin Issue
			
			
			
				
Yo, ho, hello there, I'm making a skin for Fancy Widgets right now and it's almost perfected. The one thing that is really driving me crazy is that the numbers and the am/pm indicators are missing. The left/right clock background shows up fine, the weather background is there, and all the weather text and icons are visible. But the numbers (which are images) and the am/pm indicators (also images) do not appear on the widget. No elements are hidden in the settings and all the transparency is set to opaque for everything I could find.
I noticed that if I use a different style - ex. digital rather than the flip clock I'm designing - when placing the widget, the numbers & am/pm show up.
