Windows Phone lockscreen icon

I have a Windows Phone 8.0 witch can update the lock screen with count number and news updates. I have created a 38x38 icon with just white as color, but whatever I do it does not show up on the lock screen. The updates appear but the icon is displayed as an x.

Solution

  • You must manually edit WMAppManifest.xml and here is a property that specifies the path to your icon.
