The Bling

Give yourself a little pat on the back. If you have been coding along, your dream Windows 8 Store app is functional at this point! The app is almost feature-complete and you are managing data and the application life cycle, as well as integrating with the OS where possible.

But, the job isn’t done. Chapters 11 and 12 show you how to add bling to your app. It sounds cheesy, but the proper use of multimedia and tapping into the loaded sensors in today’s devices helps entice users back to your app. And don’t forget custom tiles, toasts, or badges to allow for richer customization and immersion into the app’s user experience.
