Create a new metro style app with a blank page.
Create a rectangle on the page, set the fill of the rectangle to the image already including in the project 'SplashScreen'.
Now create a transform on the image brush, set the X scale = 0.5
You should now be seeing the 2 images within the rectangle. The 'SplashScreen' image and also the 'logo' image included in the project. It's very, but not 100% consistent. Happens similarly with different project images, even new ones added to project. Very
Annoying, not able to really tell what design rendered controls really look like.
Thanks,
Matt
