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

[k0de]

Permitting light to pass through doesn't mean there is light. Think of the background image on your screen as emitting light.

Just do it. This work I have only seen on iOS. You got it. Just omit light through the tile. And you will be 100% translucent. This I haven't seen on Windows Phone anywhere.

All jokes aside. You up to something here. Nice job. Just finish your work.

With all honestly.

Thanks for the support! Also, do not buy the app yet, I need to make sure a bug is fixed.

Proud to announce that the buying bug is fixed with the latest update, and I will be working on double wide tile support. Thanks for the support and input, guys. Expect an update in a few days.

I love this app! I had the same idea once when I was rearranging tiles on the start screen. If I knew c# well you might have had some competition! I'd like to see the following apps be on your app:

HERE Drive+
Skype
Xbox 360 Smartglass
News
Games

There's a few tiny things I don't like about it though:

-Your app's music tile always displays the name "Music" while the actual Music tile doesn't in the smallest tile option.

-Also, every one of the twelve pin-able tile goes though your app to open the actual app. Because of this, when I press the back button to close one of those twelve apps that I opened through a translucent tile I go to a black screen which I found out is from your app. I have an app similar to yours in that you can pin transparent versions of tiles for apps which don't have that option yet. In that app (Transparency Tiles), I don't have this happen to me. I'd like to see Translucent_Tiles tiles become like Transparency Tiles in the way of not having to see that extra black screen when choosing an app.

-I think the underscore should be taken out of the name. I think it makes it seem too beta stage like/developer-y.

Thanks for the feedback! I will fix the music tile ASAP and add the apps you listed. I am not sure how to fix the back button thing, though.

This is an awesome app. It would be cool tho if you let the users choose how translucent it is.

 

[mylumia928]

I was going to add that in later updates, thanks for the input! ...now to figure out how to do that...

I've moved this thread to the Developer Spotlight forum, which should help you to get the feedback that you need. ☺

 

[mylumia928]

Oh, thanks!

So I read in the forums that people would like to see semi-transparent tiles. I am working on an app for that. Everything is going well, but I want to know what app you would like to see supported. Please list apps you would like to see to be able to do this. I have made Music(green) and Office so far.

All the basic apps for sure!

Thanks for the input, everyone. I am currently working on support for more apps. Stay tuned!

Games will be in the next update for sure. Expect an update later today. Thanks again for all the support!

The app does this when I try to use the Office live tile. I think it's a problem with how Office is linked through the translucent tile in your app.

When I try to open OneNote through a translucent tile, it says "Can't open this link" in a OneNote popup dialogue box.

 

[mylumia928]

Wow, never noticed that on mine. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I will fix that ASAP.
