Hi,

It's a simple Idea which I got while travelling yesterday.

While I was travelling, my co-passengers loved the way I use my phone and WP design and responsiveness. However they don't know that WP7 exist and didn't have enough courage to ask me, though they kept on looking my phone by comparing with thier android.

So I got an Idea, We can have a very simple app [Windows Phone Badge].

1. Create a Landscape tile [like Pictures/Calendar] and pin to Homescreen
2. This tile should display "Windows Phone 7.5 Mango" with caption "Put People First"
3. Ability to change background colors for every 3sec/duration.

That's all. As application it has nothing except settings to select the duration for live tile update.


It's simple and very interesting app which is a Badge for WP users.


Anyone interested to develop? [hardly takes 1 hour]

There could be a problem. I think only OEM's are allowed to make 2x1 tiles. Devs cannot do that for their apps.
This is what I managed using custom tiles maker.

It's awesome. But can you add some tiles to that wallpaper and make it clear black :)
I have create it in my office, and I included the Paint.Net file with it, so that anyone can modify it as thy wish. Clear black can be done easily, I will try to modify it tomorrow. But if I add any tiles, it will be over write by clock, I made it simple, so that other notification can view easily.
