Kung Fu Windows Phone - Capitalization

Capitalization is one of these un-written rules of windows phone! Your application will not be rejected because it uses capitalization wrong but it does make your application look a little… different

So, let’s look at the official “rules” for capitalization:

Use lowercase for:

• Page/Panorama/Pivot titles
• List titles
• List group titles
• Push button control text or words that function as commands
• List items
• Example text that appears in search boxes
• Link controls in the middle of a sentence

Use sentence caps for:

• Check box and radio button labels
• Progress indicators
• Status, notification and explanatory text
• Toggle switches

Use all caps for:

• Application title
• Date and times AM or PM

Although this is considered the “rules”, as a tip… Launch the Music and Video hub and verify!

BTW. Also note that capitalization is different based on current language! Don’t believe me, change your language to German and check out the music & video hub
