Does anyone know a tutorial an how the buttons from the main screen of the Windows Phone 7 were build in Silverlight ?
Thanks.

Take a look at the HubTile control from the wp7 toolkit. It might be what you are looking for. :)

WP 8.1 Searching for calendar control

I'm developing an app for windows phone 8.1, and now I need a calendar control like the calendar app of the phone. I've tried winrttoolkit for windows phone, but in that calendar I cannot write on the cells of the days. I want to write something inside the cells.
Anyone can help me? A free control or some code please!
Thanks a lot!
WinRT XAML Toolkit has the calendar ported from Silverlight Toolkit and has the source. You can check if it is possible to template it in such a way to have tap/editable days. Maybe someone has already done it for SLTK? You can check the commercial component libraries I list on the CodePlex page, but I think modding the one from the Toolkit is your best bet...

How to create a picture?

Hi I have a question about a windows phone 7 app.
I would like to create a picture or an area in an app where I can for example, add font or other elements like a circle.
Can anyone show me an example or some code? Or is it not possible?
I would like a silverlight app, not XNA
You can do advanced image creation/manipulation using .NET Image Tools for Silverlight.

Are there predifined styles for making arrow buttons in windows phone 7?

I want to make some buttons in my app that look like the common round buttons with the arrows found all over the win 7 apps. Anyone know where I can find resources for these?
UPDATE
Here's a great tutorial on creating round buttons in WP7. This is exactly what I was trying to do, but I will use the images mentioned by John Gardner below:

The windows phone 7 sdk installer puts the default icons into \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Icons
Are those what you're looking for?

Am I missing some controls for windows mobile?

I'm a C# developer taking my first steps in Windows Mobile development. I've installed Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and the Windows mobile 6 Pro and Standard SDK's. Now I am trying to create a simple winforms application.
The problem is that when I set the Target Platform to Windows Mobile Standard, I seem to be missing a lot of controls. For example, there is a checkbox, but there isn't even a simple button (take a look at this screenshot ). When I switch to Windows Mobile 6 Professional, I get all kinds of controls.
What could be the problem? I've already tried to repair the WM 6 standard SDK, but that did not help.
Thanks,
Adrian
That's correct. Windows Mobile Standard, also known as Smartphone, doesn't have a touchscreen. All interaction is done through the two menu action buttons. Because of this many controls, like buttons, don't make sense and are therefore filtered from the toolbox.
