By default Windows Phone 7 (WP7) will render the applications <Title /> over the ApplicationIcon when pinned to the start screen. In my case, my title needs two lines to fully render.

Given the following WP7 App configuration as an example, is there any mechanism for inserting a line break in the application <Title /> and having it show a two line title on the Live Tile?

I’ve tried using the \n\r pattern as well as the encoded version &#13;&#10;. When using the encoded pattern, it appears as though the line break may actually be working but I still cannot see the second line.

    I tried this too and don’t think this is possible using the “traditional” technique of settting the title via the XML. I think you’re best option is to use a custom background image that includes your multi-line title, formatting it’s layout just the way you want it, then remove the tag from the XML configuration file all together. I’ve used this technique successfully with Push Notififcations on 7/7.1 and Local Tile Updates on 7.1.
