Question

Any application I create in the RTM version of the Windows Phone 7 tools displays the framecounter,memory and gpu diagnostic info along the right side of the emulator screen.

I did change any settings/preferences – is this the default behavior of the RTM emulator?

thanks
Michael

The emulator no. The apps by default, yes. (if the debugger is attached)

If you look in App.xaml.cs you’ll find this code in the autogenerated constructor:

        // Show graphics profiling information while debugging.
        if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
        {
            // Display the current frame rate counters.
            Application.Current.Host.Settings.EnableFrameRateCounter = true;

            // Show the areas of the app that are being redrawn in each frame.
            //Application.Current.Host.Settings.EnableRedrawRegions = true;

            // Enable non-production analysis visualization mode, 
            // which shows areas of a page that are being GPU accelerated with a colored overlay.
            //Application.Current.Host.Settings.EnableCacheVisualization = true;
        }

you can comment out the enableframeratecounter if you want it off, or you can uncomment those others to get more stuff.
