Windows 8 app: load tile photos at native resolution
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Currently the photos extracted from the featured feeds and shown in tiles on the Windows 8 app's home screen are simply scaled up from whatever thumbnail image was in the feed.

This is generally visibly pixelated even at stock 100% UI scaling, but at 180% is very visible, especially on the first image which is extra big.

They should be reloaded at appropriate native resolution (maybe grab the ImageFetcher class from WLMMobile to help), which will look nicer.


Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Grouping Windows 8 app specific bugs to Wikipedia/Windows 8 component.

Unofficial Windows 8 & Firefox OS apps are not currently being worked on; switching old Bugzilla assignment back to none and subscribing myself instead. Volunteers welcome, and I'll be happy to help!

The Windows 8 Wikipedia application has been unmaintained and unused for years. Declining this task to reflect reality - see T259930 for more information.
