Never built for windows 8 before and I cannot get the tile to come out looking full sized. The icon image of my app is small in a white background. This is in both the file folder and the start menu. When I look at the stand alone application settings under the windows tab it only asks to load 2 icon images. I have tried loading a 64 x 64 and a 210 x 210. They both look the same. Is there a method or a format to getting the icon to be full sized? Tried looking it up in the forums but I could not find it.
Any windows 8 developers out there? I would greatly appreciate some help with this. Thank you.

Howdy!
You can build standard desktop apps for Windows 8 using LiveCode, but not the tile based "store apps" (formerly known as Metro apps) as of yet. Sorry. I think RunRev has it scheduled to be available for the future, but it may be awhile before we see it.

Ok. Thanks for letting me know. If anyone knows how to go about modifying the Livecode output manually so that we can distribute apps in the Windows 8 store, please post it. Thanks. If I figure it out, I will let the community know. I found a way to simulate it on your own pc, but not to actually distribute in the store. Its cool but worthless...
