ApplicationBar custom button

The stock ApplicationBar only seems to support circle icons with optional text menu items. I'd like to get the design that you can see when you go to Settings -> email+accounts -> add an account and select Google, Facebook or Hotmail. There is one rectangular "next" or "sign in" button. Thanks for any pointers!

The is no support for rectangular buttons in the application bar in the SDK. You can fairly easily create a similar effect using a XAML Grid at the bottom of your page.

However watch out that if you use a TextBox to enter text on your page, then the onscreen keyboard can cover your buttons, confusing your users. In that case you're better sticking to normal app bar circular buttons.
