Thanks!
I have a bit more work to do on the tutorial (need to add a bit about animation, screenshots, sort a splash screen template project).

Thanks, Bob! I'll check those out.
The way I've found to create these is to use JavaScript for things like calculating and displaying the percent loaded, a countdown (e.g. from 100 to 0) and changing the scale of a statusbar and to show animation(s) I do this in the XAML itself (e.g. like the animated circular glow in the default splash ...

I've tried to understand and follow dozens of 'tutorials' and 'how to's but none of them work and most are very confusing and missing information.
