TiltEffect blink at first click on item.

[TheXby]

1. Click on item -> item is tilted and blinking -> application go to another page.
2. Go back.
3. Click on item -> tilt work perfect.

I am confused. What does blink mean?

I've seen this too. Have a small image that's being tilted. It seems when it's clicked for the first time the image disappears momentarily. After that it works fine.

I have this problem too and it's quite annoying. Reproduction scenario and detailed description is here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16775385/how-to-remove-image-blinking-when-using-tilt-from-callisto-for-controls-with-ima

I had the same issue and I found a workaround. The blinking may be due to the first instanciation of BitmapCache in "PrepareControlForTilt" method of Tilt class:

private static bool PrepareControlForTilt(FrameworkElement element, Point centerDelta, Pointer p)
{
...
_originalCacheMode[element] = element.CacheMode;
element.CacheMode = new BitmapCache();
... 
}

Setting 'CacheMode' property of your Image to 'BitmapCache' seems to solve the problem:

<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"
            calistoEffect:Tilt.IsTiltEnabled="True">
    ...
    <Image Source="ms-appx:/Resources/Images/MyPicture.png"
           Width="100" Height="100"
           CacheMode="BitmapCache"/>
</StackPanel>

Thanks Paul for identifying the issue and finding the workaround. That gives me something to go on to perhaps make a more permanent fix.

@timheuer when will this be fixed?
