Description Brion Vibber 2012-08-30 21:20:22 UTC
Testing the Windows 8 app at high resolution under Parallels 8 on a MacBook Pro Retina...

The tile icon is pixelated, and should be provided at 140% and 180% versions. Check documentation for proper way to do this; it's definitely possible as Microsoft's built-in apps have lovely icons.

Per docs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465362.aspx#Y918

multiple resolutions can be provided in format such as:

win8-wide-tile.scale-100.png
win8-wide-tile.scale-140.png
win8-wide-tile.scale-180.png

while continuing to specify just win8-wide-tile.png as the wide logo in the manifest.

Quick testing indicates it seems to work. :) Can also apparently do an 80% scale for the logo tiles, not entirely sure what for but it's specced. o_O

These are also cleaner images extracted from the official SVG Wikipedia logo, so using the correct font etc.

Merged.
