Hello Andre, you are right. you can use Small, Wideinteractive and large layout.
Small: The static tile at the bottom
Wideinteractive: The interactive tile of program
large: Full screen mode of your application.
You can only worry about these three and leave others.
Good luck!!
Hi,
I am presently developing on a hp touchsmart 600.The smart center has the version 3.0.32.0. I have been reading both of the hp guidelines since last week.
I have a question regarding the different types of layout. There are four of them. Small, Medium, WideInteractive and Large. Could it be that my version only support the Small, WideInteractive and Large layouts.
If I like that my app is only executable only my version of the smart center I will carry abot the Small, WideInteractive and Large layouts. Am I right?
Best regards,
Andre
Actually, you only need wide interactive and large. On the 3.0 software there is no small layout. It used to be that the tiles on the bottom used the small layout, but to improve on memory usage and performance, in 3.0 the tiles on the bottom are just icons (more specifically the icon specified in the tile xml file) with no live content.
If you want your app to be backwards compatible with 2.x, you need to support small and medium layout.
TS Guideline Page 12
Note: SmartCenter 3.0 doesn't use Small Layout, but this does not mean that support for this layout should not be implemented. Tiles that show in the bottom section work only as "shortcuts". When the user taps a tile in the bottom section, SmartCenter will either start the Windows® program that the tile represents, or start the hosted application that the tile represents and transition to that tile's large layout.
