My Application's Image in App-Switching

I don't want to show my application's screenshot when it is in app-switching. I want to change it and put an image, how can I do it?

  • I'm not sure will it work, but you can try to handle Deactivated event to draw something on the screen. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/microsoft.phone.shell.phoneapplicationservice.deactivated(v=vs.105).aspx – Anton Sizikov Nov 06 '13 at 13:41
  • I couldn't find anything in DeactivatedEventArg :( – Tugrul Emre Atalay Nov 06 '13 at 13:47
  • What do you want to find in it? Just subscribe to the event and try to draw some kind of splash screen to hide your app's screen. – Anton Sizikov Nov 06 '13 at 13:50

There is no way to do this.

The purpose of using a screen shot of the app when the use left it is to provide appropriate context to the user.

If the data being displayed for potentially extended periods of time would impact the application (as is common with some games) then the appropriate action to take would be to take appropriate action within the app/game when the user returns to the app.
