I have been coding a Windows 8 Metro Style App using the new Windows 8 Consumer Preview bits and Visual Studio 11 Express.  The app is going to be a retro shooter that takes advantage of HTML5 Canvas for the main game engine along with several Windows 8 Metro Style App Features.  This post is going to cover how to layout the elements of your game interface on the screen. 

I recently had a business requirement to color the background of a TextBox in Windows Mobile to a specific color. After completing the tasks, I noticed that the color that was chosen(blue) didn’t look right on devices that used a different theme like red or green.

Some wallpapers for Visual Studio 11 Beta and Windows themes that work with Windows 8 and Windows 7 as well.
