Windows Phone 应用图标与瓷片规范
原文链接:http://windowsphonegeek.com/articles/Windows-Phone-Application-Icons-and-Tiles
本文讲述向Windows Phone应用商城发布应用时,所需要提供的图标规范。
这些也不是什么秘密啦, (也可以访问MSDN获取: Msdn Application Artwork) 但每次提交应用时,都要重新弄明白那坨图标的意思。图标的文件名不是强制要求的,便于理解起见,建议遵循规范。
一、应用瓷片(必须包含在工程中)
应用的瓷片是最主要的图标。他们显示在手机的已安装应用列表中。
图标的大小必须遵循规定, 透明背景可以适应手机主题颜色变化。
ApplicationIcon.png
Image size: 62x62 pixels
File type: png
建议文件名:Application_IconImage_62x62.png
Property build action: Content
可以通过项目的属性页替换默认图标。
也可以更改WMAppManifest.xml中的图标文件名。 设置项目属性实际也是在编辑本文件。
Background.png
Image size: 173x173 pixels
File type: png
建议文件名:Application_TileImage_173x173.png
Property build action: Content
该图标显示在开始界面中
透明背景将被系统主题色替换(此为红色),系统将在图标上显示一些文本信息,请预留空间。
同样,可以通过项目属性页替换默认图标。
或则是 WMAppManifest.xml
二、市场使用的瓷片(可以不包含在工程中)
他们在手机或PC的市场中显示,This is the most important point of your application because customer see this icons when browsing the catalog before buying it.
You must set the icons size to the predefined size. 然而透明背景可能就不是很好的选择啦。
向市场提交应用时必须提供这些。
SmallAppTile.png
Image size: 99x99 pixels
File type: png
建议文件名:Marketplace_Device_99x99.png
LargeAppTile.png
Image size: 173x173 pixels
建议文件名:Marketplace_Device_173x173.png
File type: png
MarketplaceTile.png
Image size: 200x200
建议文件名:Marketplace_Desktop_200x200.png
File type: png
Marketplace测试套件可以检查这些图标. Open the Marketplace Test Kit (in release configuration) and on the Application Details page upload the icons to the test kit.
点击Run Tests将会自动开始图像检测,包括图片大小,格式(png)等,并提示结果。
三、应用截屏
为了方便消费者浏览及了解应用,必须提交至少一张。
最简单的方式是使用模拟器进行截屏。
Image size: 480x800
File type: png
Save up to eight screens.最多可上传八张。
四、Splash Screen Image(必须包含在工程中)
该图像并非必须,但如果提供,程序启动时将花费更多时间初始化程序,如果不提供程序启动时将更快。
由于系统在程序启动之前使用该图片,因此文件名必须为 'SplashScreenImage.jpg'。该文件必也将包含在生成的xap包中。
SplashScreenImage.jpg
Image size: 480x800
File type: jpeg
Property build action: Content
There are other techniques to make animated splash screen but it's more difficult and need more CPU time on the phone.
五、Build
After all you build the application and the xap package file contains the application icons.
六、一些建议
You may also want to mention that the screenshots cannot include any transparent areas or be altered from what would appear on the application's screen. Either of these things would cause an application to fail Marketplace certification and would require a submission update.
应用截屏图片不能含有透明区域或进行修改,否则都将导致提交失败。
Having the testing information (the numbers that run down the side) on your screenshots will also cause an application to fail Marketplace certification and would require a submission update.
图片中包含测试信息(例如边缘的FrameRate等信息),将导致提交失败。
The best way to get an application screenshot is to use the emulator, running your application not in debug mode. This is most easily done by simply starting your last test version directly from the emulator (with emulator size set to 100% for best effect) and using the excellent screenshot capture functionality provided within the emulator. The image should then be submitted without any further editing.
