I have been looking for a little while now and am not finding much help via MSDN resources and others. My predicament is simple: my app needs a base directory to the Downloads folder. I am aware of the DownloadsFolder class however that is not suiting my needs currently. How do I get the current user's Download folder path in a Windows Universal App?

I want to have transparent square tile for my app, but in the Store it should have green background behind same icon. Is there any way to achieve that?

Do I always have to click to deploy a UWP app before running it? Thats two steps and I'd like to perform just one. I've just created a Blank Xaml App (Xamarin.Forms Portable) New Project from the list of Cross-Platform, Windows, Visual C# Templates in Visual Studio 2015 update 2. There are projects for Droid, iOS, and UWP (Universal Windows) as well as a few others.

If I right click the project and then
