Windows App Store icon sizes - unplated?
When I create and run a Windows Store App, my application icon looks very small on the taskbar, compared to other application icons. It appears to be surrounded by a grey background too, instead of transparent.
After reading around a bit, I suspect I'm getting a 'plated' icon. How can I get an 'unplated' app icon instead?
I'm using Delphi Rio 10.3 to generate the appx file, and have provided the required UWP 44x44 and 150x150 icons, in addition to the main app icon (which contains 16x16, 24x24, 48x48 and 256x256 images) in Delphi's Options.
@Rafael Dipold have you done something different than in that article? It isn't working for me.
I didn't used Delphi IDE because it's calling makeappx.exe with /f (mapping file) and I used /d (content directory)
I have the same file with two names in Assets: Logo44x44.png and Logo44x44.targetsize-44_altform-unplated.png
