How do I eliminate rogue “counters” on my Windows Store main page?

Question

I have a minimalistic main page - 4 buttons and a Bing Map.

When I run the app, though, I see two rogue \"counters\" (don\'t know how else to describe them) in the upper

Those are frame rate counters turned on by default in your app.xaml.cs when building for debug:

        protected override void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)
        {
#if DEBUG
            if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
            {
                this.DebugSettings.EnableFrameRateCounter = true;
            }
#endif

You can remove these if you don't want them while debugging. They won't show up by default in release.
