I’m designing a game for windows 8 using HTML5 , but my game can’t be shown in snapped view and i’m wondering if it is possible to just show an image (like : Store application )?! if so how can i do that ?!

also can i set my game not to work in snap view like looking orientation?

• i want to make it similar to the next screenshot

Answer 1

Thanks alot for your help , i solved it as you said “detecting when the app is in the snap view and so it will appear as i set in CSS file

sample code

checking for snap view

window.onresize = function () {
            var myViewState = Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView.value;
            var viewStates = Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationViewState;
            if (myViewState == viewStates.snapped) 

                //do what you want


        }

then you should be perviously setting up your CSS file

@media screen and (-ms-view-state: snapped) {
//do what you want to show when app go to snap view stat
}
