Windows Phone 8 - Small Cycle Template Live Tile (159x159)

Question

I am trying to add a small cycle template live tiles to an app.

In the documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh202948(v=vs.105).aspx#BKMK_WhatyoucandowithTiles and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj207036(v=vs.105).aspx

There seems to be no samples using small cycle tiles. Also, here is a screenshot of VS2012 WMAppManifest.xml. There is only one image for "Small".

Is it possible to add a cycle template live tile for a small image? One of the clients wants to create a "small live tile" when the application is first installed. Is it possible?

Answer 1

You can't cycle through images on a small tile, you can only have a static image. From MSDN, the CycleTileData.CycleImages property is for medium and wide tiles.

[CycleTileData.CycleImages] Gets or sets a collection of up to 9 background images for the medium and wide Tile sizes.
