how to do this??
This looks cool...how did u do it????
Erm... Photoshop???
well i made the tile graphics in photoshop true,but if ur implying that the screenshots r just photoshop mock ups then..no!!
these r fully working double width tiles..
which so many have said cant be done..
The screen shots were taken with the screenshot xap found on this site in the apps forum....
How to:
change .xap to .zip
find the WMAppManifest.xml file and edit the following lines
<TemplateType5>
and
</TemplateType5>
to read
<TemplateType6>
and
</TemplateType6>
then create ur tile with your favorite program and save it with the correct name and location mentionen in the WMAppManifest.xml file
the size of the double wide tile should be 356x173
thats it
have fun

Are you planing on creating and sharing?
is it possible to make working livetiles for example a new message tile with tile counter?

what ive done is take all ready exsisting xaps and edit the tiles to my liing..if one looks closer at the screenshots you can se the name of the actual apps the tiles are linked to..i know how to reove the name also but its not so important.
as for creating and sharing..well i posted the method i use so im sure anyone cane make thire own..
and for live tiles im actually trying to figure that out now with an app that has live tiles..
this proceduer only works for 3rd party apps where one can download and tweak the original .xap
the new message tile is pre-installed so i dont think that will work
but my wide tile for Whats app has a counter which works
ciao
tutorial: http://www.rudigrobler.net/blog/2011/9/27/double-width-tiles.html
It's pretty easy to use the double wide tile but it comes with a few downsides:
by default, the app creates TemplateType5 in the WMAppManifest.xml file
It also mentions
<TemplateType5> and <TemplateType6> are the only supported TemplateTypes available to ISVs:
· <TemplateType5> is used for squared tiles
· <TemplateType6> is used for rectangular tiles
Only square tiles support automatic modification of the transparent background to reflect currently selected theme.
What i can infer is that if you use TemplateType6 you can create a rectangular tile image - it just can't be transparent...

This means you can use the double wide tiles but not if you would like to submit the app to MS for marketplace as only MS and OEM partners are allowed to use it and the transparancy.
Awesome. I want to do this.
Interesting, we should have this.

Could you create a clock without flip?
Because it looks quite nice but I don't like the flip
I agree flip is unnecessary. Can You tell us how to do this modification? What programs we need? For example how to change fonts in clock? It is difficult?
Here the file you need to replace.

I created these simple wallpapers with transparency. The grey is 75% transparant.
New! Windows Logo pack:

WP7 wallpapers:
Stars pack. These are also 75% transparant:
The lockscreen becomes transparant when there is an animation, so when you touch it is tranparant.
Download:
WP7 Wallpapers.zip
Stars Pack.zip
Windows logo pack.zip
How to:
1. First download the zip file with the wallpapers.
2. Mail the wallpaper you want to yourself.
3. Go to the mail with your Windows Phone.
4. Tap on the pic in the mail. This will download it. Like pictures in e-mails.
5. Open the pic.
6. Don't save it to your phone. Tap 'use as wallpaper' from the options.
7. Now you have a nice lockscreen.
It won't work with password on!
Let me know what you think about them.
really like the idea of this, just one question, when I set it as wallpaper and wake the phone up (Not touching it) it shows the wallpaper as it should but in the background it shows the full image of the lockscreen off centre faintly in the background..
It's quite hard to explain but I don't yet have a camera I can take a picture of.. although when I do touch the screen to open it the opacity shows and looks nice..
I'm running mango if that may mean anything.
Cheers,
MVP

Glad you like the idea. It isn't working because of Mamgo. They took it out of Windows Phone 7.5. But maybe I will make wallpapers without transparency for Mango.

hmm these made the wording go all crazy on my lockscreen, any idea why?
Hmm, interesting concept, but I don't think it plays well with the lockscreen text. The clock, notification icons, and player controls get lost in the visual noise.

Transparencies in your lockscreen "post mango" do not work very well. Unfortunate but well documented.
Hi,
It's a simple Idea which I got while travelling yesterday.
While I was travelling, my co-passengers loved the way I use my phone and WP design and responsiveness. However they don't know that WP7 exist and didn't have enough courage to ask me, though they kept on looking my phone by comparing with thier android.
So I got an Idea, We can have a very simple app [Windows Phone Badge].
1. Create a Landscape tile [like Pictures/Calendar] and pin to Homescreen
2. This tile should display "Windows Phone 7.5 Mango" with caption "Put People First"
3. Ability to change background colors for every 3sec/duration.
That's all. As application it has nothing except settings to select the duration for live tile update.
It's simple and very interesting app which is a Badge for WP users.
Anyone interested to develop? [hardly takes 1 hour]
Is the point of this just so the user see's its a WP7 device, or is there another reason?

Just it's a Wp7 device with some live tiles experience.
There could be a problem. I think only OEM's are allowed to make 2x1 tiles. Devs cannot do that for their apps.
This is what I managed using custom tiles maker.

is that so?
I'd suggest a simple solution to the OP. Try using a wp7 lockscreen
Nice work justhink. M not sure if I'd use this but this can help the OP for sure.
It's awesome. But can you add some tiles to that wallpaper and make it clear black
here is a transparent wall paper version and a solid dark background version

Hi all
after some research to customise the W8 on screen keyboard,
i have replace a duib resources by a duib xml extracted from W8 beta version....
this can also be used to edit some other parts of the Modern UI...
this work is at alpha stage an contain some visual bug as you can see at the end of this post.
i'm always working on it but i hope some users will also contribute!
you can try this mod by replacing the dll tabskb.dll by the attached version (x64)
or replace the resources UIFILE/15731 in yours using reshack.
there is a lots of customisation possibility:
add a key border (color,size...)
change key background color.
change keyboard background color...
& a lot more with better understanding of the duib xml...
you need to take ownership of the file & kill tabtip.exe....
Tested on Windows 8.1 6.3.9600.17031
Code:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\tabskb.dll

Windows 8.1 Hidden Start Menu Animation
During my test i have found some registry key used for the start menu animation but not present !
you can customise how the tiles appear with those keys:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid]
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cx"=dword:00000000
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cy"=dword:00000000
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_IndividualTower_Offset"=dword:00000000
For exemple:
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cx"=dword:00002000
tiles come from right.
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cy"=dword:00002000
from bottom
There is also this one to have the anim like at login but this can be slow....
"Launcher_SessionLoginAnimation_OnShow"=dword:00000001
Can it be transparent?

IMHO - one of the biggest things needed for windows 8.1, is opacity control, and gesture support for the onscreen keyboard. I have the 8" Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet, and when the keyboard pops up, it literally takes up 3/4 of the screen in landscape mode. Portrait mode is not so bad, I would love to have gesture support as well - swipe like functions. The feature is now on Windows Phone (gestures), why cant we get it on W8.1.
it would be good to know how to change the font size on the "extended" (full) keyboard ... I would like it to be "Bold" type like on the normal keyboard.
does anyone know of a swipe keyboard for w8.1? I Tried TouchPal and it say it has the swipe feature, however when I check it does nothing?
