Design Guidelines for Application Bar

You can add an application bar to your page both from XAML and code behind. There are some design guidelines for Application bar a developer must know about before designing and developing their Windows Phone application.

Application Bar has an in-built animation and rotation support. So, use it to keep consistency across all Windows Pone applications.

Always use an image of White color with Transparent background. If you have a different theme set for your phone, the Application Bar will colorize them accordingly.

Use 48 x 48 icon images with the actual image content placed within a center area of 26x26 pixels.

Never draw the circle for the icons as that is drawn by the Application Bar itself.

Use icons for most common commands. You can place only 1 - 4 icon buttons in the panel. Hence, if you want more than 4 commands to put in the Application Bar, use the Menu item for the additional actions.

Don't place more than 5 menu items in the application bar. This will create a scroll bar in the UI and the user will have to scroll to click on the items.

Don't add more than 20 characters in the menu items, as it doesn't have support for advance Text formatting like Trimming and/or Word Wrap.

Remember that, as the Application bar is not a Silverlight control, you can't use data binding for text. You have to hard code the text in XAML.

If you want localization support for your Application bar, you have to set the text from code behind dynamically.

Set opacity of Application bar to '0' (zero) if you want the bar overlaid on top of the page. Set it to '1' (one) if you want the page to properly adjust itself outside the covered area of application bar. image

Also remember that, all text items will be converted to lower case while running. So, never think it to be a bug.
