App tile icons

To provide a nicer user experience in v1.2.4 the icon specified for an App tile is now deployed automatically and displayed in an App Center tile in both desktop and Web. Note that the minimum optimum size for an App tile icon is 96x96.

Due to the changes in the way the App Center is rendered you will need to re-deploy your Web Apps so that the icons are deployed.

These tile icons are also active in the new "Page Center".

You can copy your icons into the library directory (just drag and drop) and then reference them in the App "Settings" for the tile like this lib:/iconname.png

I have created a 96x96 icon called 3.png, placed it in the lianja\lib folder, and set my app tile icon to lib:/3.png, however it just shows up as a question mark on the tile. Is there any specific PNG format that should be used (i.e. bit depth etc) ?

Please make sure you have put your icon in .\lianja\library\ and not .\lianja\lib\
