@Ariel, bob is right that you will need to tweak the template. With Blend this will be straight forward.  I am guessing the brush you are looking for in the template is ToggleSwitchThumbBackgroundThemeBrush ..  I recommend you alter the template and replace it (instead of altering the brush).. but either will work, just make sure you do it within the scope that only alters your controls (with this brush it might be safe since it is very specific to toggleswitch

Hi DeathBy,

Beta has been over for a month, Windows RTMed in august, and so did the tools. 

Hi Bydia,

I have passed the feedback on the 100 to the product team.
Trying to better understand the comment on 88.  Where do you see that number?? 

I assume you are running RTM version of the OS, right?

Mouhammad,  the tools for WIndows 8 are free... 
You can get a 90 day eval of windows 8 and that is usually enough to write an app http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/evalcenter/jj554510.aspx?wt.mc_id=MEC_132_1_4

The tools are free all the time, you can get them from here:

hope that helps..

Daniel Dacey, thanks for the feedback.. I have passed it along..  we are definitely working on some of the items you are mentioning ...    The platform definitely has a lot great features so I would advise not to discount it for the short term..  You can write some great apps in this release.. there is lots of them in the sore already...

RFX,
Are you not getting the link under the "related" section to work?
{what error do u get}

thanks!

Hey Ben,

I just fixed the link (thanks for heads-up, I had internal staging link so when I tested it it worked for me).

I will try to get some AR demos when we cover sensors. Can't guarantee it but will try.

felix9, nice catch..

The OS has RTMed. you can read Terry's announcement.  The tools are coming very soon and are on track.  Date has been announced alrady. It is 9/16  

IDWMaster, sockets support has not been announced/committed.  It is a very common ask, so I am sure it will be prioritized highly..  Unfortunately we are just getting done with the current release and have not completed planning for the next releases, so nothing to announce at this point..

rgullhaug,

This design is not theme aware.  It is not a requirement to respect themes.
