Design Freedom when designing Windows Apps

Hi Everyone
I am a User Experience and UI Design consultant based in Cape Town, South Africa and I am very new at designing Windows Mobile apps.
I have gone through the online guidelines and I do understand that the guidelines are not rules but recommendations. So my question is, how much freedom do I have? What are the minimum requirements when designing the interface? What will make the app I am
designing to be declined by the store?
I do want to keep to standards, but i do want to know how much i can push the boundaries that wont impact in the App Store approval process.
Any assistance would be most appreciative. 
Thanks

The UI guidelines are not part of the certification guidelines. Push the boundaries however makes sense for your app.
Flagrant and pointless deviations may keep the app from being featured, but it won't keep it from the store. On the other hand, usefully unique and interesting apps may be more likely to be featured.

    Hi,
    I ran the tool over our application and there was only one area in which it failed. However, all the files it mentions in the log are files that were created by the tool itself!
    The errors are included below.
    Can you please advise how I should proceed?

  • CS3 - Viewing HTML in code window, when selecting  a image in design window on split mode wont work .

    Does any 1 know how i can enable my split to be able to
    select a image from the design mode window with mouse, and have it

    I have just upgraded to CS3 and in DW MX2004 i could select

    But atm all i can do is highlight and right click the text

    Any hints on how to fix this would be very much appreciated
    Thanks in Advance

    ChAoTiC,
    That works for me on WinXP. After selecting your image in
    Design View,
    try hitting Ctrl+` on Win or Cmd+` on Mac to switch focus to
    the Code
    Pane. Does that work?

  • I was online checking flights when a window popped up on my screen saying my computer has been infected by 3 viruses: Backdoor, Adware, and Malware. Does Mac automatically send this alert or is it a program designed to gain access to my system?

    I was online checking for flights when a window popped up on my screen saying my computer had been infected by 3 viruses: Backdoor, Adware, and Malware.  Does Mac automatically send out this alert?  The pop up has a "cleanup button", and is asking me to register some antivirus to enable a full cleanup.  Is this really from Mac/Apple or from some entity trying to gain further entrance to my data?  Can't seem to get assistance from Apple until 6 am.  I am not computer savvy. PLEASE ADVISE!!!

    Do not ignore this... it's malware, not a virus. Even if you didn't click on anything, make sure your Mac is free of malware.

  • [Forum FAQ] Go to Start Screen/Desktop when closing Windows Store App

    After install Windows 8.1 Update 1, you will notice these things set by default even on touchscreen laptops and desktops:
    Windows 8.1 now boots directly to the desktop.
    Closing Windows Store Apps and go to desktop instead of Start Screen.
    Besides option “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” since Windows 8, another new option in Taskbar Properties “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is used to control closing app behavior.
    Features of "Show Windows Store app on taskbar" 
    When the setting is checked, all of the Windows Store apps that are currently running will display on taskbar. You can easily switch between Windows Store apps and your desktop and its applications through the taskbar. For mouse users,
    you can also access the taskbar within a Windows Store app. Just move the mouse cursor to the button of the screen, the taskbar pops up.
    When the setting is unchecked,
    Windows Store apps have no minimize button, only Close button
    Windows Store apps that are open are not visible on Taskbar
    Windows Store apps can still be pinned to the taskbar
    How do these two options work for closing app behavior?
    Modern app and Taskbar   setting
    OFF
    ON
    Boot   to desktop setting
    OFF
    Close goes to Start
    Close reveals the   app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
    ON
    Close goes to desktop
    Close reveals the   app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
    Know why “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” does not work when “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is checked on
    As MironV mentioned in the
    thread, Windows 8.1 Update is designed to introduce a number of changes for mouse and keyboard users that would help them use and switch between Windows Store apps alongside their familiar desktop applications. A lot of these changes only made sense when
    combined together, so they are toggled by one setting, which is “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar.” This is usually enabled together with the first setting as a complimentary set of improvements for desktop users. When the setting is enabled, Windows
    Store apps are intended to feel more like regular maximized applications living on the desktop, though they are full screen only. For example, when you launch apps from Start, they appear on the taskbar until they are closed. You can also minimize them or
    switch between them by invoking the taskbar.
    Please understand that unchecking the “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" setting has no effect on close and minimize behavior when the “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar” setting is checked, since
    they are controlling two independent things. If you tend to use only one Windows Store app at a given time, it may seem like we’re not respecting the setting by going to the desktop.
    Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

    I don't know if I'm the only one, but on my desktop (using mouse and keyboard only) I like to have my Start screen as my main screen.  To ensure this I made sure to uncheck the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop" box and
    check the "Show Start on the display I'm using when I press the Windows Logo key" box. I also really like having the task bar appear at the bottom even when I'm using a modern app.  Based on the settings I've chosen (i.e., boxes I've checked or not checked),
    I would expect to be taken back to the start screen and not the desktop whenever I close an app.  From what I've read from your response and from others in this thread, in order to accomplish this function (i.e., closing an app and going directly to the
    start screen) I need to uncheck the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" setting.  By doing this I get the functionality I was looking for when the apps are closed and I get sent to the start screen.  However, I am now not able to see the taskbar
    when I'm in a modern app or when I'm on the start screen.  This seems counterintuitive/confusing as many have mentioned.  Not to mention it creates an additional step for users to get back to the Start screen.
    All I want to do is (1) use my start screen as my main screen, (2) see the taskbar when running whatever app I'm using (e.g., modern), and (3) go back to my start screen (and not the desktop) when I close an app.  It would only make sense that I should
    get these results if I leave the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" box checked and the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" box unchecked; but unfortunately this is NOT the case.  I really hope that
    an update fixing this is coming sooner rather than later because this is really annoying.

  • What do I do with F-Secure Freedome when upgrading to Windows 10?

    QuestionWhat do I do with F-Secure Freedome when upgrading to Windows 10?
    AnswerWhen upgrading your operating system from Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 to Windows 10, you can choose to:
    Keep your programs and data through the Windows 10 upgrade (Recommended)
    If you choose to upgrade to Windows 10 whilst keeping your programs and data, the Freedome application does not get removed and continues to work normally after the upgrade.
    Make a fresh (clean) Windows 10 installation
    If you choose to make a fresh (clean) Windows 10 installation, you will need to reinstall Freedome after the Windows 10 upgrade. Do note that this method of upgrade requires you to type in a new subscription code as every installation of Freedome uses one of your available subscriptions.
    Note: If you have had an expired trial subscription of Freedome on your computer before the Windows upgrade, it will remain expired after Windows has been upgraded. This applies to both the Windows upgrade methods mentioned above.

    Thanks but the tool only works if you have one working windows installation and it's designed for mult-boot systems.  I don't have a multi-boot system and when the Windows 10 upgrade fails there is no active working Windows install to turn to. The partition gets corrupted and has a "RAW" status until you run chkdsk with gets it back to "NTFS" status but it won't boot.  My only two options at this point is to restore back to an image backup or install Windows 7 all over again. I'm just going to give up on this HP laptop, to me it's just not compatible with running this upgrade, so unless someone else has any other ideas this attempt to upgrade is over. Thanks again

    Thanks
    Savio

    Dear Savio,
    On 14th of October 2008 support for SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 ended.
    This means:
    No more patches are supplied (not even security updates).
    No corrections are implemented.
    How to requests which are specific to release 6.40 are not processed.
    SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 is not tested or used SAP internally anymore.
    There is no extended support option for SAP GUI for Windows 6.40.
    Since using a component which is out of support means a high risk it is SAP's strong recommendation is to start the planning for the upgrade to release 7.10 as soon as possible.
    The patches previous could be found at below mentioned path:
    service.sap.com/swdc
          > SAP Software Distribution Center
            > Download
              > Support Packages and Patches
               > Entry by Application Group
    >Support Packages and Patches>SAP Frontend Components
    >SAP GUI FOR WINDOWS>SAP GUI FOR WINDOWS 6.40
    Now the above written notification can be seen here.
    Hence., It would be better if you upgrade to SAP GUI 7.10.
    Hope this info helps!!
    Kind Regards,
    Robin.

    Hi Soundersrule,
    I wonder if you are developing a Windows Phone 8 or Windows Phone 8.1 app and what Windows OS that you are using.
    In my mind, maybe you need to repair your Visual Studio or try to upgrade your Visual Studio to the latest update to see if it works.
    Besides, the following one is a similar thread, please try to check it:

  • Design Window Not Displaying Correctly

    In MX 2004, I have a layout in which the column structure is
    set forth in CSS, but the columns then contain HTML-defined tables.
    Is this mixture problematic in MX 2004? If I hit F12 or upload, the
    result is fine, but in the Design window, the display is thoroughly
    broken. Elements are skewed left-right-up-down, or don't appear at
    all. I'm flying blind.
    Is this problem known in MX 2004? If so, is it one of the
    things that "expanded CSS support" of Dreamweaver 8 fixes? I'm
    loath to upgrade if all I get is the same limitation.
    Thanks in advance

    > Is this mixture problematic in MX 2004?
    No. Most likely your code is 'troubled', even if it looks OK
    in the
    browser. Can you post a link to the page? Does the page

  • Design Window distorting appearance

    After a lot of trouble, I have the beginning of this website
    looking correct in the browsers, however, all of a sudden, for some
    reason the text in #rck_feature, when viewed in the Dreamweaver
    Design Window now looks distorted (actually I think there is
    overlap of the list items). This was not happening before I got it
    to look correct in the browsers (IE & FF). While I might just
    forget about it, it is really annoying. Especially if I decide to
    do anything outside code. Can someone tell me what is going on here
    and does this happen often to the point where the design window
    might as well not be there? Thanks
    Here is a link to the site:
    Saxstorage.co,
    Here is the code:

    When you try to precisely "fit content" over a large BG
    image, you're cooked
    before you've even begun. This is a common mistake made by
    newbies. Look at
    your site again and aggressively increase text size in
    browser. Your page
    content spills out of the mold. Since you cannot control end
    user browser
    settings, you must rethink your design strategy to be
    flexible. You want a
    layout that stretches top to bottom to accommodate short
    pages and longer
    pages; x-small text and x-large text.

  • Sometimes the Flex Builder design window crashes

    Sometimes the Flex Builder design window crashes in that when
    you click on components, you don't see the usual outline transform
    box out side the component you clicked on. Also things like the
    toggle button bar doesn't switch the viewstack. I have no errors or
    warnings in the problems windows.
    Any ways round this?

    Actually I found the answer to my question. You can find it

  • Display images in Design windows

    I'm using images on a AIR project, I see them in the compiled file but they're not loaded inside the Design window of Flash Builder.
    Is it possible to display that images directly inside Flash Builder, avoiding to compile the project everytime I have to make a check on the images?

  • Flex Builder 3, Design window not working

    A few days into a new project, suddenly flex builder 3
    crashed and I can no longer graphically edit my layout. Editing the
    source works, and the changes are reflected in the design window,
    however I cannot make changes while in the design window.
    Help!

    You can try to delete (not contents), then reimport your
    project, or simply reinstall Flex. Takes all of 5 minutes. If that
    still doesn't work, make sure you don't have some component
    covering the others possibly.
