Translucent tile app in works. What apps do you want?

[sd173]

Also, I was wondering if others find the Nokia Mix Radio tile too bright. Please tell me here in the thread if you do, so I know whether to fix it.

It looks right to me...

Okay. Maybe it was just my wallpaper ☺

Pushing out the new update as we speak. I hope you guys like it and the new UI. I had to remove the Nokia Camera app at the last moment, because of a bug. I also improved performance on launching the music app. If you guys have downloaded it, please leave a rating, using the app bar in the bottom of the app. Also, feel free to use the "suggest an app to include" button to request support for other apps.

Thanks for all the great support,
Nikolay

I actually posted about the translucent app concept last month on the Windows phone user voice site. It will be great if Microsoft implements it in Windows Phone officially.

Here's the site:

Until WP supports it, do you enjoy the app?

I don't really know too much about C# or programming yet, but is it possible to fix that problem where the app stays open after a translucent tile opens by having code to automatically close the black Translucent Apps shortcut screen once the target app is launched? By target app I mean the app that has a translucent shortcut on the start screen.

That's actually a great idea for a solution. I will definitely try that. I'll keep you posted.

Any suggestions for future updates? As far as apps go, try using the built-in suggestion system in the app.

Just wondering, have you notified WPCentral about Translucent Apps?

 

[mylumia928]

I have to many editors, and no response

Were you using the tips@WPCentral email? Maybe that could be why.

 

[mylumia928]

Tried that too

I think they'll do an article on a slow news day... Right now there's too much going on..

Yeah that might be it. I don't see any reason why WPCentral wouldn't do an article on the app.

Hope so ☺

With the help of sd173, I am releasing an update tonight which fixes the "black screens" and will not send you to the app when you click back, after using a shortcut tile. Thanks sd173!

 

[mylumia928]

Update is released, should appear in the store in less than an hour! Enjoy, and thanks again @sd173!
