Hi there,

WP 8.1 features transparent tiles. My Birthdays app dynamically generates jpg images and places them into a fliptile. I haven't played around with WP8.1 at all, but I am already wondering how the transparency works: can I use png files and use alpha values, now? Or do I have to use an alltogether different tile?

Any information is welcome!

Thanks a lot!

I found this which is how to make a transparent tiles:

windows phone 8.1 transparent tile - Stack Overflow
​
Basically it saying when you create the tile design make sure the background set to transparent.

Ok, thanks! Exactly what I was looking for!

Basically they confirm my guess: use png ;)
