I am aware of app bar icons and menu items in Windows phone. What I want it is an app bar similar to phone's default windows phone store where it shows up "try", "buy" and share in menu item... How can I achieve this? I looked into documentation of ApplicationBar, but it didn't help.
I want normal buttons to be inside application bar.. If that is not possible in appbar how can I mock something similar to the one which shows up in windows phone store..
Not sure that it is possible
Though, you may try to take a look at some custom appbars. For example, Cimbalino appbar is made as behavior (so it supports binding) - probably, you'd be able to set button's style either.

Is there an appropriate control to create an Icons Menu in Windows Mobile 6 or 6.5?
I am creating my own user control, but its hard to belive that such an important feature is missing.
This is the user control that I am developing:
Thanks in advance.
The native menu does not support icons or graphics, it always was text only.
You may have to mimic the native menu behavior and show your app in full screen to disable the standard menu bar.
Some apps have the ability to show or hide an icon's name right under the icon in Windows 10 Mobile. The text's visibility is toggled when the user clicks on the 3 dots beside the icons - Photos, OneDrive, Outlook,...
Is that done by some ui element property or some other built in way, or was it just written to behave the same from scratch? My goal, of course, is to add that to my app.
I am assuming you are talking about the Command Bar control
You can read more on how to customize the AppBar in the official documentation
I'm forced to change look of ApplicationBar on application that runs on WindowsPhone 8.1. I need application bar to be on top not bottom. I tried to google it, but didn't come up with any simple solution. I'm not very experienced on this platform, so I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
I am not aware of any way to do this with the standard application bar
But you can do your own control - put a simple Grid with several AppBarButton controls at the top of your page. If you want more advanced functionality like handling orientation changes, menu items, etc. .. you will have to program them yourself.

I tried using System.Windows.Controls.Slider, but it allows only double value and I can't find a way to configure it to a on/off mode.
Which user control i should use?
I believe you are wanting the ToggleSwitch control http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.toggleswitch
The toggle switch can be found as part of the later versions of the Phone SDK http://phone.codeplex.com/
I am pretty new to Windows Phone, XAML and such and I am trying to solve this. I have custom colored button, but while this button is pressed it changes its color. How to customize this "pressed" color/properties? Is there any simple way that I missed? I was searching over the internet but nothing helped.
You need to know about styles, states and many other stuff, it's simple but you need to learn, you can go through this sample code from MSDN to create a Windows Phone Custom Style Button
