Is there possible to only show the back of the tile when pinned to start? I think the back gives me more freedom, with the "Content" setting, so I would like to only use the back, and not the front.
No. But what you can do, is to create a custom live tile background-image, which allows you to have more content on it.
I've written a guide on how to do exactly that

Hi every One See the Below Image
in this Screen that 3 Blocks are images and i am trying to Bind some text to that Text Block and display with some time intervals with Live tile Look and feels. Can any One Sugest How can i do this
If you want to mimic Live Tiles, I suggest that you take a look at The Windows Phone Toolkit. It contains the HubTile control which is live and is probably the thing you are looking for.
If not, you have the source code and you can check how they did it. This way you can replicate the behavior and then customize it.
I have an image of a living room, which I'm turning into a menu for a new site I'm working on. The idea is that you can click on certain items in the room, like a chair, desk, couch, etc and get taken to the desired page. I'm wondering if there is a clever way of doing this. Since the items are not simple shapes, I don't want to use a standard image map.
Thanks for you help!
I'm answering because a Google search brought me here...
Because you asked for a tool:
GIMP Has a really good Image map creation function.
Open your image in GIMP and select Filters > Web > ImageMap
From there you can create image maps by drawing on the image. Saving will generate HTML you can then tailor to your needs.
This tool looks to be a solid image mapper: http://www.image-maps.com/
I'd suggest doing this with a canvas and SVG's, it would make this quite a bit easier, and more professional.
As Korvin mentioned, doing this in SVG is probably the easiest option, because you can attach events to objects in SVG rather than having to manually specify a particular area in which to listen for events.
If you go this route, I recommend using the RaphaelJS library which has a nice syntax and the advantage of working in IE pre version 9. Here's a demo which, although it uses onmouseover instead of onclick, it might be close to what you're trying to achieve:

I have zero experience with multiple displays & cocoa. Feel free to share any handy links, tutorials. What I need is this : I'm trying to fill all displays with a full screen, transparent window. What I'm afraid for, though, is that all the displays together don't necessarily form a rectangle, but have to touch somewhere.
What are your thoughts about this?
You would set up a window for each display that is not mirrored. The API you are looking for is "Quartz Display Services".
CGGetActiveDisplayList gives you a list of non-sleeping, non-mirrored, drawable displays.
I would like to know if it is possible to make a screenshot within the app and allow to save it in photo album of the phone? Since i have too many things on the view, such as graphic buttons, few UIImages. And i want them all export or save as one picture.
However, i also want the screenshot to be adjustable. As there are many things i dont want such as the navigation bar etc.
May I know if it is possible?
Thank you all.
Still a n00b (sorry) and I wondered if there is a solution this rather simple quandry which I cannot find an answer for (probably because it is so simple).
Basically I have a label which is inside a custom box. When I change the box size and then hit run the box size changes back to another random annoying size. It sounds simple enough but can I change it so that it sticks to the definitions I set. I have a series of labels and it would be great if the layout were the same. Thanks.
Turn off 'Live Autoresizing' in the menu.
