windows phone 8.1 tile color to a specific color

Question

I am using the queue mechanism of tiles in Windows phone 8.1 and i am wondering if it possible to set the tile color to a custom color and not the default theme chosen by the user?

Answer 1

In your Package.appxmanifest file look for <m3:VisualElements> and set BackgroundColor="red" or whatever color you wish. This is your app's personal color. Your Live Tiles will inherit this color.
