A (better) tile generator for Universal Windows Apps
I made this because I wasn't satisfied with the results of the tile generators available today. (today = 2016.02.11.)
This command line tool currently generates all the visual assets that a UWP app can have (except badges, but I'll add that later).
As of version 1.0 you'll need to prepare four .png images as source material:
- wide.png (1240x600)
- splash.png (2480x1200)
- square_large.png (1240x1240)
- square_small.png (284x284)
Place these files into the folder where the UwpBetterTileGen.exe and the ImageProcessor.dll are, and just simply start the program. You'll find the results in a new folder called output.
There are plenty of places to improve:
- better image resizing
- ability to use different source for alternate tiles
- single source file generation
- generation of not regular asset files
- automatically editing appxmanifest
- badge asset support
