Is it complete? Didn’t forget anything? Or testing an app someone else created? The problem is – what to test, where to start and not to miss important things. Maybe this quick checklist can help you cover the basics. It was created by using information from the App Fast Track team. First here is the &lt;strong&gt;brief checklist&lt;/strong&gt;, then we go a bit more into detail.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;User Experience &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Navigation and App bars &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Network &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Suspend mode &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Search &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Share &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Settings &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Scaling &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Interaction &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Tile and Notification &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Touch, keyboard and mouse &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Windows App Certification Kit (WACK) &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Performance &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This information is also &lt;a href="http://blogs.microsoft.nl/blogs/ux/Documents/General%20test%20of%20a%20Windows%20App.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;available in PDF&lt;/a&gt; format including a checklist for testing an app.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;1. User Experience&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The basics for this can be found on &lt;a href="http://design.windows.com"&gt;http://design.windows.com&lt;/a&gt; with more on &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/apps/hh465424" target="_blank"&gt;the UX guidelines&lt;/a&gt;, also &lt;a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=258743" target="_blank"&gt;in PDF format&lt;/a&gt;. There are a few things that are easy to check:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;First the app must have a &lt;strong&gt;clear focus&lt;/strong&gt; which can be described in a ‘Best at’ statement. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;The app should deliver the &lt;strong&gt;core scenario’s&lt;/strong&gt; to support that focus to the user. It should be supported natively in the app without using browser controls. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;landing page&lt;/strong&gt; should highlight the goals of the app at a glance. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;See more on &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465427.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Planning Windows Store apps&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A bit more detailed things to look for in this context are:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Use of the standard &lt;strong&gt;grid&lt;/strong&gt; (20px x 20px) and align with the &lt;strong&gt;Windows 8 silhouette&lt;/strong&gt;.       &lt;br /&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh872191.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Laying out an app page&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Views on hubs should &lt;strong&gt;pan on a single axis&lt;/strong&gt; (primarily horizontal in landscape, vertical in snapped).       &lt;br /&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/apps/hh465310" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for panning&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Use one &lt;strong&gt;text font &lt;/strong&gt;with a type ramp with 2-5 different sizes.       &lt;br /&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh700394.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for fonts&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Support for &lt;strong&gt;branding&lt;/strong&gt; though splash screen, logo (usually only on landing page), colors and more.       &lt;br /&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465338.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for splash screens&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465418.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Branding your app&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;2. Navigation and App bars&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Check if there is a clear way to &lt;strong&gt;navigate &lt;/strong&gt;through the app/data. Focus on where you are, not on where you can go.       &lt;br /&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh761500" target="_blank"&gt;Navigation Design for apps&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Semantic Zoom&lt;/strong&gt; should be used to jump around a long list of content.       &lt;br /&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465319.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for Semantic Zoom&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Additional commands are placed in the &lt;strong&gt;bottom app bar&lt;/strong&gt;, navigation is placed in the &lt;strong&gt;top app bar&lt;/strong&gt;. The app bars are only available on a page where needed and contains contextual commands.       &lt;br /&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465302.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for app bars&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;3. Network&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Check handling of &lt;strong&gt;network unavailability and disruptions&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;When &lt;strong&gt;in the app&lt;/strong&gt;, disable the network. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;With the network still disabled, terminate the app and &lt;strong&gt;restart it&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;If you have access to a network which requires a &lt;strong&gt;webpage to enter credentials&lt;/strong&gt;, use that one, don’t enter credentials and start the app. The app will check for network, but any request will result in another webpage then expected. Does this work/fail? &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you are using a wired connection make sure you disable/enable the adapter (Go to Start screen, type “view network connections”, select “Settings” and click “View network connections”, select the adapter and click Disable/Enable).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;For wireless connections, simply enable/disable the Airplane mode (Go to desktop, click the network icon in tray and set Airplane mode on/off).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;4. Suspend mode&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Start the app, navigate to a detail page, switch to the desktop and start the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+ESC). Wait until the app is in Suspend mode and &lt;strong&gt;switch back to the app&lt;/strong&gt;. Are you still where you were before? &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you can’t see if the app is suspended in the Task Manager, click the View menu, click Status values and make sure “Show suspended status” is selected.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465088.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for app suspend and resume&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;5. Search&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This is only for apps where the search from the charms bar should be supported. If it’s not supported and you would expect it, then you know what to do.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;While in the app, go to the &lt;strong&gt;search charm&lt;/strong&gt; for these tests (WinFlg+Q) &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Determine a &lt;strong&gt;specific word in the content&lt;/strong&gt; of the app and search for it. Does it return the item that was originally spotted? Is there a difference where the text is (for instance title or content) and is that to be expected? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Enter the same word but &lt;strong&gt;use spaces around it&lt;/strong&gt; (e.g. “ text&amp;#160;&amp;#160; “). Is trimming applied to the search term? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Leave the text to &lt;strong&gt;search for empty&lt;/strong&gt; and search. What’s the result? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Enter a &lt;strong&gt;few spaces&lt;/strong&gt; as text to search for and search. What’s the result? (should be the same as the previous test) &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Enter &lt;strong&gt;something that cannot be found&lt;/strong&gt; (e.g. “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”) and search. Does the result indicate that nothing could be found? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;If there are &lt;strong&gt;lots of results&lt;/strong&gt;, is there a way to filter the content? &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465233.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines and checklist for search&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;6. Share&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p&gt;An app can be a share target and/or a share source. This only applies for apps where you would expect either one of them or both.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Navigate to content and go to the &lt;strong&gt;share charm&lt;/strong&gt; (WinFlg+H). &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Can you share content? Is it &lt;strong&gt;useful/expected&lt;/strong&gt; information? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Navigate to other content and share again. Is the &lt;strong&gt;correct content&lt;/strong&gt; shared? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Navigate to a page that doesn’t support sharing, perhaps the landing page. What happens now? Should result in “&lt;strong&gt;nothing to share&lt;/strong&gt;”. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465251.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for sharing content&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;7. Settings&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Go to the &lt;strong&gt;app settings&lt;/strong&gt; in the charms bar (WinFlg+I) &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;If an internet connection is used, is there a &lt;strong&gt;Privacy Statement&lt;/strong&gt;? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Is there an &lt;strong&gt;About with a support link&lt;/strong&gt; (even if it is a mailto)? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Are &lt;strong&gt;settings grouped&lt;/strong&gt; in clear groups? Understandable for the user? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Can you &lt;strong&gt;navigate&lt;/strong&gt; through the settings (using the back button)? &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh770544.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for app settings&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;8. Scaling&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Check for&lt;strong&gt; snapping support&lt;/strong&gt; by snapping the app beside another app. If your resolution doesn’t support snapping (need at least 1366x768), use the Windows Simulator. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Start the &lt;strong&gt;Windows Simulator&lt;/strong&gt; for the next steps and launch the app in it. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;What happens if you &lt;strong&gt;rotate&lt;/strong&gt; the device (try all 4 – normal, 90, 180 and 270 degrees). Is the view expected? Navigate through the app as well. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Try the app in the &lt;strong&gt;resolutions&lt;/strong&gt; 10.6” 1024x768, 10.6” 1366x768, 23” 1920x1080 and 27” 2560x1440. What happens with the content? Does it extend, reposition or scale? Is it to expected? &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Checking for scaling can be easily done with the Windows Simulator which comes with Visual Studio 2012. You can usually find it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Simulator\11.0 and it’s called “Microsoft.Windows.Simulator”. This can be pinned to the Start screen for easy access outside of Visual Studio.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh780612.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for scaling to screens&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;9. Interaction&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Can you &lt;strong&gt;interact&lt;/strong&gt; with the items on the screen as expected? Tapping, selecting, swiping, semantic zoom, etcetera). &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Are &lt;strong&gt;animations&lt;/strong&gt; applied for feedback (tilting) &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Are grids and lists aligned so that content just of the screen are &lt;strong&gt;‘peeked’&lt;/strong&gt; (just of the screen to hint that there is more)? &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465370.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for common user interactions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;10. Tile and Notifications&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Good tile design&lt;/strong&gt;? Branding okay? No ads in tile?! &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Check the &lt;strong&gt;size of the tile&lt;/strong&gt;. Large tile only for live tiles, otherwise just a small tile should be used. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Are &lt;strong&gt;secondary tiles&lt;/strong&gt; implemented? Do they work okay? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Are &lt;strong&gt;notifications&lt;/strong&gt; raised? And are they also visible in the live tile and the app? &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465403.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines and for tiles&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465398.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for secondary tiles&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465391.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for toast notifications&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;11. Touch, keyboard and mouse&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Is &lt;strong&gt;touch&lt;/strong&gt; supported as expected? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Are the &lt;strong&gt;gestures&lt;/strong&gt; within the common set defined in the Windows 8 Touch Language? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Can the app be used with the &lt;strong&gt;mouse&lt;/strong&gt;? Also semantic zoom? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;When using the mouse, are there &lt;strong&gt;tooltips&lt;/strong&gt; used where appropriate? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Can the app be used with just the &lt;strong&gt;keyboard&lt;/strong&gt;? Is the current focus visible? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;When &lt;strong&gt;keyboard shortcuts&lt;/strong&gt; can be used, are they mentioned in tooltips? &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465370.aspx#the_mouse__the_pen__the_keyboard__and_a_touch-first_world" target="_blank"&gt;The mouse, the pen, the keyboard and a touch-first world&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;12. Windows App Certification Kit (WACK)&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Test the app with the &lt;strong&gt;Windows App Certification Kit&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh694081.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Testing your app with the Windows App Certification Kit&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;13. Performance&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;What’s the overall &lt;strong&gt;feel of the performance&lt;/strong&gt; of the app? Is it responsive? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;If you can, test the app on an &lt;strong&gt;ARM device&lt;/strong&gt;. What’s the performance on a low-powered device?&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt; Is the appropriate progress indicator used for long running actions?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsappdev/archive/2012/04/03/how-to-improve-performance-in-your-metro-style-app.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;How to improve performance in your app&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465469.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Guidelines for progress controls&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;</description></item><item><title>Vanaf een website verwijzen naar de bijbehorende Windows 8 app</title><link>http://blogs.microsoft.nl/blogs/ux/archive/2012/09/24/vanaf-een-website-verwijzen-naar-de-bijbehorende-windows-8-app.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:56:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0357a05b-cef6-4f0c-b1ee-ac5309758ddc:27437</guid><dc:creator>Martin Tirion</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Stel je hebt een website en een Windows 8 app. Als een gebruiker op Windows 8 naar de website gaat en de app nog niet geïnstalleerd heeft, dan wil je naar de app kunnen verwijzen. Of als de gebruiker de app al wel geïnstalleerd heeft wil je die wellicht kunnen opstarten om direct bepaalde content in de app te laten zien die zichtbaar is op de website.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Internet Explorer in Windows 8 ondersteunt dit scenario. De application bar van IE kan de gebruiker verwijzen naar de app in de Windows Store of de geïnstalleerde app op het systeem. Dat ziet er ongeveer zo uit:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="An example of the appearance of a site icon when the site has an associated app" alt="An example of the appearance of a site icon when the site has an associated app" src="http://i.msdn.microsoft.com/dynimg/IC591657.png" width="266" height="186" /&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;img title="An example of the appearance of a site icon when an associated app is installed on the user&amp;#39;s system" alt="An example of the appearance of a site icon when an associated app is installed on the user&amp;#39;s system" src="http://i.msdn.microsoft.com/dynimg/IC591658.png" width="267" height="186" /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Als de app &lt;strong&gt;NIET&lt;/strong&gt; geïnstalleerd is.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;em&gt;Als de app &lt;strong&gt;WEL&lt;/strong&gt; geïnstalleerd is.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Om dit voor elkaar te krijgen moeten een aantal metatags worden opgenomen in de webpagina’s van de website. In deze metatags kunnen ook parameters worden opgenomen die vervolgens worden doorgespeeld aan de Windows 8 app als die via deze manier wordt opgestart. Uiteraard moet de Windows 8 app dan wel deze parameters uitlezen en daarop actie ondernemen.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Meer informatie hierover is te vinden in &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/IE/hh781489(v=vs.85).aspx" target="_blank"&gt;een artikel op MSDN&lt;/a&gt; hierover.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;De application bar of het menu wordt overigens niet automatisch geopend. Je zou natuurlijk ook nog visuele informatie op kunnen nemen op de pagina’s met een link naar de Windows Store of instructies om de application bar op te roepen.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Met Windows 8 de zomer door</title><link>http://blogs.microsoft.nl/blogs/ux/archive/2012/07/30/met-windows-8-de-zomer-door.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jul 2012 15:15:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0357a05b-cef6-4f0c-b1ee-ac5309758ddc:27293</guid><dc:creator>Martin Tirion</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;In de zomermaanden is er vaak wat meer ruimte voor onderzoek of misschien wil je jezelf wat meer verdiepen in Windows 8.

Met deze SDK is het mogelijk applicaties voor touch-omgevingen te ontwikkelen. Dit kan voor Windows 7 met ondersteuning voor touch of voor Surface met ondersteuning voor touch, maar ook object-herkenning en meer.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;De bedoeling is eigenlijk dat je een keer een applicatie kan schrijven die touch ondersteunt en die op meerdere device kan draaien, inclusief Microsoft Surface 2.0 (SUR40 van Samsung). In de code is het mogelijk om zogenaamde ‘capabilities’ uit te vragen. Daardoor kan je in de code rekening houden met de mogelijkheden en onmogelijkheden van de omgeving waar de applicatie draait. In het geval van een Surface unit kan er bijvoorbeeld ook opgevraagd worden of de unit horizontaal of verticaal gebruikt wordt.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;De SDK bevat een set van controls, templates, tools en voorbeeld applicaties. In deze versie van de SDK draait alles om WPF 4.0, XNA 4.0 en het .NET Framework 4.0. Deze SDK vervangt overigens de Surface Toolkit for Windows Touch beta die eerder beschikbaar was.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;De download van de SDK, training materiaal en meer technische ondersteuning is te vinden &lt;a href="http://www.msdn.com/windows/surface" target="_blank"&gt;op MSDN&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Opvallend is ook de rol die &lt;a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/8/6/D869941E-455D-4882-A6B8-0DBCAA6AF2D4/UI%20Design%20and%20Interaction%20Guide%20for%20Windows%20Phone%207%20Series.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;de Metro guidelines (van Windows Phone)&lt;/a&gt; een rol gaan spelen bij Surface. Dus zorg dat je ook op de hoogte bent van deze richtlijnen, zodat je een uitstekende ervaring op basis van touch kan bieden.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Fonts animeren in Silverlight</title><link>http://blogs.microsoft.nl/blogs/ux/archive/2011/07/13/fonts-animeren-in-silverlight.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Jul 2011 11:14:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0357a05b-cef6-4f0c-b1ee-ac5309758ddc:25942</guid><dc:creator>Martin Tirion</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Als je wel eens geprobeerd hebt om fonts te animeren, dan ziet dat er over het algemeen niet erg mooi uit. De animatie stottert, de fonts gaan er een beetje raar uitzien, soms lijkt iets bold te worden of juist niet meer bold te zijn, enzovoort.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Standaard optimaliseert Silverlight fonts voor leesbaarheid. Met allerlei slimme algorithmes wordt ervoor gezorgd dat de juiste pixels worden gebruikt om een zo’n scherp mogelijk font te tonen. Maar als je die tekst gaat animeren (verplaatsen, vergroten, enzovoort), dan kunnen die slimmigheden roet in het eten gooien. Het resultaat zijn de vreemde ‘vervormingen’ zoals hiervoor beschreven.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;De oplossing is op de &lt;strong&gt;TextHintingMode&lt;/strong&gt; te zetten. Deze heeft twee waardes: &lt;strong&gt;Fixed&lt;/strong&gt; of &lt;strong&gt;Animated&lt;/strong&gt;. Fixed is eigenlijk de standaard. Animated gebruik je voor de tekst-elementen die je wilt animeren. Zet niet zo maar alles op Animated, maar denk er goed over na welke tekst het echt nodig heeft.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.media.textoptions.texthintingmode(v=VS.95).aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Meer informatie is te vinden op MSDN&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
