Can I make a app which can show on screen display on desktop and metro style??

Question

I have to implement a app which can show OSD (on screen display) on both desktop and metro style.

                                                                                                 

I've check the toast, dialogbox, popup menu, but these aren't what I want.                       

                                                                                                 

The app I want is just like the below pic (The flight mode off).                                                       

                                                                                                 

When I got some event, then system will show the OSD on both desktop and metro style.            

                                                                                                 

Can anybody provide some  samples or references.                                                 

                                                                                                 

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Toasts would be the appropriate way to implement this. In what way are they not sufficient for your needs?

Answer 2

As far as I know, the size of the toast can't be changed.

I have to allocate the appropriate size and location for my project.

Is it possible to change a toast's size and location?

thanks.

Answer 3

No. There is no way provided to do what you ask. I recommend that you write your app to follow the Windows style guidelines.
