I am not too sure on which device comes with what? Obviously True VGA is better but how do you get it and why isnt it already in my device or is it?
I'm not 100% sure of your questions but I'll tell you what I know.. You're right, an XDA Exec does not come with software to make it full VGA out of the box.
I never understood why it ran in QVGA until I tried ozVGA (came pre-installed with a custom AKU 3.3 ROM) but now I know -- in VGA mode the title/softkey bars, and almost everything is VERY small. I have pretty good eyesight, and I expected everything to be small, but it's seriously small!
I've attached some screenies, but XDA-Dev resized them. You can find the native solution screenshots here:

So how do you go about making the Universal use True VGA?
it depends what rom you have.

240x320 is the screen resolution. the depth determines whether it's vga or qvga. 96dpi is qvga, 120dpi is vga, etc. you can surf at www.pdadb.net and look for your device to determine it's screen specs.

Designed for qvga, but ThumbCal will upscale to vga I think.
Want to donate some hardware for me to make sure ?

Nice work again, but you're wrong. TC won't upscale it correctly. Upscale your skin to VGA and then compare it to the diamond VGA skin. You'll see differences.
Nice one!!! Really appreciate it!! thanks, m8

Ah cool. Thanks for the clarification. I'll try doing a vga version if there's enough interest.
Nice skin dude. Thanks.
i use this too and want to say thank you. but i think for a iphone skin it uses too dark colors ? isnt the Calendar more white than grey?
oi. now i'm torn between this and the original one.
I'm quite interested on a VGA version. I do hope you can provide it.
Cheers

Yer it is quite dark, its not meant to be an actual iPhone clone, just heavily inspired from it. I have a dark theme throughout my whole phone (which Im prepping to launch soon) so it fits in with what I need. I might make a brighter version if your can convince me

Unfortunately I dont have VGA hardware to test on, nor the time at the moment to give it a shot. I can't promise anything immediately but when I do get a bit of free time I will maybe try (don't hold your breath though )
@nir36; cheers.
@snachez: i understand that you want it to fit to your other apps, and it really looks good. But if you find time i would be really happy for a brighter official look
if not, i´ll use it anyway.
this is my calendar for todaylife, maybe this inspires you

Yeah the new version of thumbcal has a different path rogram files\thumbcal
and iPhkali skin installs to programfiles\thumbapps\thumbcal(or something like that). Just move the iphkali file from programfiles\thumbapps\thumbcal folder into program files\thumbcal folder and it should do the trick.

Heres an updated version which puts it in the new correct path. Skin should still work fine as before.

Thanks nir36, I'm in the last stages of getting my full UL theme ready for release - nice darkish feel to it all. Props to s.l.i. for the awesome calendar
I know everyone's been working really hard on the HTC Diamond interface to get it qvga, I was wondering if anyone's interested in trying to get the xperia's panel interface into QVGA.
Tried it...
The aspect ratio really screws things up...
(might work on the omnia better, but I don't have one to test it on, and it needs lots of little tweaks to get it to work...)
can you share the application? even for VGA i am getting an HTC Touch Diamond and i'd really like to have this feature if it can be used on it?
the dpi is 192, omnia uses 92...if someone just guide me, how to manage the OEM files, i can make a ROM for Omnia...well it is posssible to make a custom ROM for Omnia
that would be awesome.
tf3d is getting on the overrated side

The source code is also available here, if someone wants to take a crack at updating it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417214
I currently only have a pre release build from a pre-release ROM.
The DPI is fixed, as in, there are no image DLLs, and the dimensions are fixed in the applications.
It won't work on a Diamond, as the ratio is all wrong (the "W" in WVGA does - surprisingly - stand for something).
w means wvga.
wvga was 800 by 400 px while vga has 600 by 400
youre gonna have a tough time but its not impossible.
try narrowing the panels

Umm... Do you want to try narrowing the panels?
I know it's difficult, and that is why I have yet to post anything!
W means "Wide", hence the Omnia has WQVGA, or wide QVGA. Also, WVGA is 800x480, VGA is 640x480.
If we find any skins that work on the xperia for spb shell, should we post it on this thread to keep track of them?
I think a thread in the X1 forum may be a better place...

I shall upload them tomorrow.
The biggest difficulty so far is that the today plugin aspect of panels dislikes QVGA...
well works come along way on the diamond interface, and the omnia interface which is wqva is coming along way too. So maybe we could get this going. Can someone post the cab or files and we'll see what we can do.
Updates
Hey folks,
was jus wondering if there was any updates on the panels.
Btw, Omnia or X1???
No updates as of yet.
The Omnia/X1 are completely different devices, with completely different aims. If you need a keyboard, get the X1, if you don't get the Omnia!

or HTC Touch Pro verus HTC Touc HD etc etc,.. get the Xperia cabs up allready, its the Xperia softs were after the phones are almost the same.. (read almost, and that dont include screensize, hardkeyboard, blinking leds, touching touchscreens, rubbery backcovers, flashing flashy flashlights.)
Panels for everyone! who dont want the fishpanel? i know i do..
Just use the VisualTask switcher. Link in my signature...
I think that, like most ppl, he is in on for the fishes... ;D
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to phones but is it possible to some how get the Samsung Omnia's TouchWiz interface on the Xperia?

I find it quite terrible, so I don't want it .
