Windows Phone Emulator Color Render Issue - Fix

A few days ago my emulator decided it wasn’t going to render colors properly:

WPEBugOn

… this is what it should look like:

WPEBugOff

… turns out that the issue was the 3D stereoscopic setting on my NVidia display card:

#windowsphone development tip: turn on tombstoning when debugging

I’ve been doing windows phone development for a while now, and only recently became aware of this setting:

Untitled

... available in the project properties page of your windows phone project in Visual Studio.
Basically tombstones your app every time it’s deactivated instead of keeping it in memory. It’s turned off by default – but this is typically something you want to keep on while developing.
