How can I avoid my windows phone tile icon being used as an alpha mask?


I am making a windows phone 8 app and I'm trying to make a nice tile for the start screen, so I opened my WMAppManifest.xml in Visual Studio, selected TemplateIconic and imported the desired image. My problem is that it's using my image as an alpha mask, so all the colours it has are simply transformed into white. I'd like to conserve all the colours from my image.

Solution

  • Go to WMAppManifest.xml and set Tile Template as TemplateFlip.
