SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 and VGA? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Friends,
I've looked through hundreds of pages and can't find much that notes it is VGA compatible. Can any of you post links to shells that work with VGA? I'd love a WM7 or Diamond theme, or anything dark and attractive. A simple one with calendar and no tabs for lots of room.
Anyone?

There is less people use VGA device rite now thats why skin for VGA is only a little I just can find VGA skin at http://mobileshell.ppc-theme.com
Please if anyone have the info where I can find VGA skin for mobileshell , please share also thanks

I'm having no luck at all...

You are very positive. I am not.
Athena is about a year on the market. Universal, I guess about 2 years. Bouth support VGA. Didn't help.

Er.. you could try to edit your own theme. I own a I780 but in RealVGA mode at 96 dpi, all the layouts are messed. I did a lot of editing and came up with the basic theme running at 96dpi mode. I had also done a Diamond theme and did some modification work as well.
You could try to do it.

But HTC Touch Diamond is different you can see if anyone made a thread about "Touch Diamond" the views will be thousands so its different..hope this Diamond will really made all VGA users becomes diamond hehe

If I had a VGA Device to test with, I would support it on my themes, but unfortunately I only have qvga devices.
A friend is going to loan me his 240x240 for a couple days so I can port to that though.

need VGA

I for one very much miss VGA. I had a Dell x50v back in the day and the screen was AWESOME!
I WILL be getting the Diamond Pro (with keyboard) when it comes out in the US.

From what (little...) I understand Your main question is if Mobile Shell is VGA compatible and not about themes.
Yes, it is. I've been running it smoothly on my Eten X500+ for months now together with SPB Weather, Time and Diary. It is IMO fast and reliable and lacks almost nothing I want from a shell. I will try iContact again when someone makes it truly VGA-compatible (larger icons, buttons and text) but Mobile Shells contacts is also quick and easy to use.
Just FYI

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.

take just the first one, put it in \Application Data\Opera 9.5\skin\
replacing original standart_skin.zip file
make a backup of your original file if necessary.
depending on your opera version, this location could be here \windows\Opera 9.5\skin\
Beautiful skin, the whole black theming is just boring IMO, might as well build phones with black/white screens lol
Thanks for this beautiful skin

there will be no VGA color skin from me. not in near future.
all of icons have different sizes there, it would require to reedit all of them,
and icons which i used as source for this skin were mostly from opera XP with 22x22 pix.
suitable size for qVGA verion is around 32x32 and for VGA 66x66. that means these icons will be really ugly if converted to that size.
sorry for that.

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.

Xperia panels interface to qvga

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!
