Can I create my own Live Tile XML template?

I am currently developing the live tile functionality for our sparkling new Windows 8 app. However, I've gotten some pretty specific designs for this live tile, and there isn't any of the tile templates that can be tweaked to make it look like it should.

Is there any way to create a custom XML-template for a tile, and if so, how would you implement animations etc for it?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Edit: Even though I know I could make a webservice create a custom design on an image and link that up, I'd rather not go down that road due to time constraints.

Solution

  • No there is not.

    But you can generate an image. It is not needed to be server-side Windows 8 - Custom Live Tile
