  • 0

I have created a new Application icon to represent my WP7 app and set it with the app using the ‘Properties’ option for the project. I have double checked that the change has been implemented by checking the WMManifest.XML

  <IconPath IsRelative="true" IsResource="false">Class Timetable Icon 62px.png</IconPath>

I have rebuilt the solution and been in and out of VS10 but the new icon is not displayed as the app icon. This occurs foe the emulator and when I deploy to the phone.

I have even replaced the default ApplicationIcon.png file with my new icon but its still not being picked up.

Any ideas???

    Ok – got it sorted. The issue was that the icon needed to be in the root directory of the application. I had them in my own sub directory, which didn’t give any errors, but, simply didn’t display them.

    Its in point 27 of http://expression.microsoft.com/en-us/gg317447 where the limitation (of having to use them from the root directory) is mentioned.

    This is all under 7.0 – possibly maybe more flexible under 7.1.
