Hello,
I have a problem with my Packaged Win32 application icons resources on Windows 10 and 11.
The icons look great in the Start menu and Taskbar but when I add a desktop short to my app, the icon is displayed with a blue background color.
Here is my scenario :
1. I generate the resources.pri file using native Visual Studio tool (see attached capture)
2. Then I build an APPX package to publish it on the Store using the command line :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.18362.0\x86\makeappx.exe" pack /d "E:[compiled app folder]" /p e:\package.appx
3. I can sideload my app using the PS1 command
Add-AppxPackage -Register [package app folder]\AppxManifest.xml
When deployed (sideload or by Store) the icons look nice in the Start menu and taskbar (see captures).
When I drag the Icon from the Start menu to the desktop to create a shortcut, then the icon is not correct.
Note : I generated all the visual assets using VS for all sizes/scales, and light/dark variants, and unplated.
The appmanifest looks like that :
<uap:VisualElements
DisplayName="PageFabric"
Description="PageFabric"
BackgroundColor="transparent"
Square150x150Logo="Assets\Square150x150Logo.png"
Square44x44Logo="Assets\Square44x44Logo.png">
<uap:DefaultTile Wide310x150Logo="Assets\Wide310x150Logo.png"
Square310x310Logo="Assets\LargeTile.png"
Square71x71Logo="Assets\SmallTile.png">
<uap:ShowNameOnTiles>
<uap:ShowOn Tile="square150x150Logo" />
<uap:ShowOn Tile="wide310x150Logo" />
<uap:ShowOn Tile="square310x310Logo" />
</uap:ShowNameOnTiles>
</uap:DefaultTile>
Anybody has an idea of what I miss for the desktop shortcuts?
Thank you!
