I'm sending toast notifications from my UWP app which are working fine except for icon shown in the action centre. The icon appears as intended in the first image but you can see in the action centre the gray tile background is missing. I have also shown below the list of assets I have in the project.
Can anyone help?
Decided to take your advice and make the tram logo white on the transparent tile background. I have discovered you can keep the StoreLogo a different png anyway so cant see there being any issue when I come to submit. Keeping the logo white and the transparent background means it works properly everywhere.

I have an application using png type and GIF with transparency in the background. So I want to display them in Winforms using PictureBox, but they still have the outline or something outside the images that seem unclear as photoshop does. I have attached the example below.
As you guys can see the image has something outside that looks so annoying, can you guys help me figure out how to fix or improve It? I appreciate that.
Below is the original png that I used in my project
enter image description here
The problem is that the image is not fully transparent where you think it is.
The problem when taking an image and removing the background with transparency is that you often use the magic wand and it works for 99% but the rest you have to fix manually.
What I personally prefer in these cases is that you take your image (the png version with transparency) then in Photoshop you add another layer and put the first layer with the image on top. Then you change background color on the second layer (the one you just created) with a strange color in regards to the image, so in this case i would test with yellow.
Then if you have everything correct you should not see your image and since part of it is transparent you will see the yellow color where the image is transparent. Now you can zoom in and check the "strange parts" of the image and then you will find the spots that are not transparent. Now you can use the eraser or magic wand and polish the edges so that you only see yellow where it should be transparent. When you are done you could test and change the yellow color on the second layer to red and just double check. Then it will probably work as a charm. Good luck! If it does not work after that, please give us more details and also add the png image.
I have just finished developing a cross platform xamarin app. When I tried to submit my app to apple store there were errors. I think when I was fixing them, I changed something and the screens changed for iOS. Fonts, pictures, keyboard etc.. sizes have grown. It is like the resolution decreased. However there is nothing changed about android side, everything is same. Here are two screen shot before - after. If you know what is the problem, can you let me know it?
As James said at comments, the problem was about splash screen. I changed it to default and everything fixed.
I have a Windows Phone 8.1 app, written in Windows RT and XAML. The app suffers from an issue with one of its shortcut tiles placed on the home screen getting grayed out. In screenshot 1, the large tile is grayed out and the graying out is visible when compared with the tiles of other apps. In screenshot 2, the smaller tile appears perfectly fine.
The issue persists with only the large tile of the app, and it remains grayed out all the time, even when freshly installed onto a phone. I read a lot of reports about app tiles getting grayed out, and the reason behind them was some sort of backup being performed. But in my case the issue is permanent and exists ONLY with the large tile.
Tile being grayed out:
Smaller tile appears fine:
How can I fix this issue? If the issue is because of some backup being performed in the background by the OS, how can I avoid this? Also, I did check the backup option in the settings menu, and it was turned off. So, theoretically, no backup could be performed, leaving no reason for graying out.
Any pointers?
UPDATE: Snippet from the manifest file where the tiles are set. The background color is set to transparent.

I've read somewhere that the tile can be grayed out by the system if our intentions are to write text on them, just to give it a better contrast.
Please try another tile template.
Check the image you are setting when you create the large tile. Or maybe the Background property. I think its on this two properties. If not, please paste the code you are using to create this tile.
I've built an app which uses transparent PNGs to display an overlay for users to tap using WPF and C#. However, there are weird jagged edges around the words. Would this be more of a C#/WPF limitation or a Photoshop issue?
Screen resolution is 720p. App runs on win7pro.
Screenshot:
Definitely a problem with the image itself. I see the same fringing when viewing the image against a black background on my phone. Make sure you compose the text over a transparent background (i.e., don't remove the background with a magic wand tool) and save with a full alpha channel (32-bit PNG).
I've form in .net C#,
Problem:
I've a PNG image with drop shadow and I want put that image as back ground image of form and also using transparency key as well with the same background color property. But when I debug my app it does not give expected drop shadow as per png image. Please help me.
You'll probably need to programmatically adjust the transparency of the image.
Background images on a form do not support any photo attributes/editing, just set or get. So you'll need to get your photo and the background color of the form, and then programmatically change the photo to look as if it is transparent to the background color of the image.
Then take the image and set it as the background image of the form.
But without more information, I'm not sure what else to say or if I've said the right thing.
I have a better solution.
