The text "log in" and "logged in as ..." appears buggy, it is in trasparency with all categories...try it yourself, it's my problem?



Sorry it's not like this anymore, it was when I registered first time...

Just updated to v1.5.2, the background image is still stretched vertically...

Can you please fix this? It wasn't a problem before v1.5.0...
Yes, will be fixed properly again for next release.

will it work on developers unlocked device? :D
Bazaar runs on developer unlocked devices. You won't be able to install applications from Bazaar though. What you can do is mark the applications you want to install on the go (as favorite) and deploy them all together with Bazaar for PC as soon as you get home.
Keep in mind that you'll be able to deploy applications that don't requires interop unlock only.

I have this crazy idea, but might be possible: What about making a Bazaar Viewer where you can view the apps on bazaar and set them as favourite and then submit it to the official Marketplace?

Hmm... for people with a limited number of unsigned apps (people whos phones are dev-unlocked but not interop-unlocked), that might actually be a useful thing. It could also increase the exposure of WP7 homebrew in general.

Of course, the odds are pretty good that MS would reject it - they being... less than enamored of the homebrew scene so far as we can see - but it's possibly worth a shot. Remove the native and high-privilege code, and give it a try...

I found one small issue. When I deactivate background task for Bazaar then, at startup, application'll show message wih Exception: "BNS Error: The action is disabled. ... Scheduler..."

As you mentioned GoodDayToDie, we'll have to remove all interop code in order to try that. And even after we removed it, there may be a chance that you are right, and they won't like the idea of Bazaar being in the official marketplace.
Anyway, we've added it to our to-do list.

Thanks guys!

Hi,

Bazaar on my phone and computer won't let me create an account. On the phone, it says that there is no endpoint listening at wp-bazaar.com/bazaarservicenew/bazaarservice.cvs. Please fix this!
Other than that, this application is great :)

Hi,

Thanks for reporting that issue. It has been fixed (Server side bug).

In fact, the user you tried to register has registered successfully. So all you have to do is login.

Lidan.

I've installed 1.7.0.0, everything is working fine. But the icon in the tile is way too big, the writing "Bazaar" is nearly unreadable. Anyone else having this bug? And is this somehow fixable?
