This short article shows how to pimp your Windows 8 Metro apps with native XAML icons that are created from W3C Scalable Vector Graphics. SVG graphics are XML documents, and hence should be easily translatable into an other XML schema, such as XPS (the
technology formerly known as ... Metro). Just like Metro XAML, XPS is a
subset of XAML. Unfortunately its full object model is not implemented
in Silverlight or Metro. In Windows, since
the-OS-that-should-not-be-named, XPS is also used as print spooler
format. This means that you don't even have to write an XSLT
transformation to translate SVG to XAML: let the printer driver do the
heavy lifting.Read full article here
