But there are no native VGA skins... In each case it's resized QVGA skin, so the quality is very poor ;(

Can anyone post their VGA themes here? I can't understand their language so I can't register

I'll try and dig up my hacked version of the iPhone VGA theme that was from the clownfish one on ppc-theme but without the fish background and put it up later on tonight.

Ok here's the files I used to get it working. I did some editing of the original clownfish files to remove their original background but still able to keep the icons and menu bar. Works like a charm for me. qa_layout and the games.reg enable the 9 button support.
Enjoy
clownfish = iphone vga clone that they did on the ppc-theme site.

Al i want is the diamond look in spb 2.1, like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021 ..... who can me help with that??

Is this a native VGA or a resized QVGA ?
Can you post some screen shots ?

I believe it's native vga. Like I said I just simply extracted the clownfish cabs and used the .dat files I needed and modified them accordingly to remove the fish background so I could just use the default colour theme backgrounds that come with it.
Basically it's the bottom menu bar, and the icon pack for the program menu. The rest is all default SPB stuff, but it works nice for me.
You can see some pics of basically what it looks like at the link below. Honestly I'm too lazy to screenshots and upload them, sorry, heh.

Is this all the themes that we can get ???
what are the chances to have some of the amazing stuff that posted in the SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 Theme / Skin Collections Thread ???

...hm, ok...do you really find these, which are mentioned for VGA ?
I have downloaded some and they looks excellent on my MDA Pro (which is 640x480).
BTW: At page 12 you find the Diamond theme in VGA.

Problem for me, my MDA has not enough memory and when I tried to open the weather panel, the PDA freeze

It's not really a VGA theme but a blown up QVGA. But I made a VGA version of the diamond touch clock which is used in the "layout_C_3_contacts_vga" theme.

If you want Diamond Look on your VGA device just use Throttle Launcher with TouchFlo3D theme.

Hi all, I have a theme question

I've done a search of this forum & wiki, and the web, but I can't figure out where to get the themes that you guys have in the screenshots thread.
You all seem to take it as normal but I've no idea how to get started!
BTW, I have OzVGA on my Exec, is that going to be an issue?
If it's possible to convert them, I'd really like my PC's current theme!
(Clicky for big)
P.S. Is there a VGA Windows Media Player theme that gets rid of the nasty black bar at the base of the screen?
I am using Wisbar Advance as are quite a few others. The themes you need a are all over the internet, just google "wisbar theme" and you'll see what I mean.
For true VGA you will generally need to use QVGA themes, sounds daft but trust me.......
Here I'm using a vista theme for WA2 and WMP with the Expea2 extended theme for SPB Pocket Plus off the SBSH forum.
By the way, what XP theme are you using??
Hi Pug ,
where can i download the theme ...that u have attached in the previous reply. its really nice
plz give me the link to download
Many thanks,
Gopi

There is a problem with the WMP skin not keeping it's selection so the patched files are attached here.
Remember if you are using a "normal" display you need the VGA themes, if you are using TrueVGA you will need the qVGA with maybe the WMP VGA skins etc... Confusing but I didn't make the rules.

It's called Allion2 (it's on the dialog box in the screenshot!) There are a few different colour versions, "System" is the nice blue one.

- After doing the installation, soft reset your PPC for maximize use.
- Change your today theme to one of the .tsk themes you have downloaded.
- Run the Wisbar Advance Desktop application, click and hold on an open area and choose theme manager (note that "Author Mode" must be active).
- Enter Desktop Theme, at the potrait tab choose "the black and the light" and at the landscape tab choose "the black and the light landscape". After that click ok.

Just overwrite it and you are done, for instance look at the screenshots above.
- Important note for Advance Desktop, before you change the desktop wallpaper,

Cube, Ifonz, PocketCM skins for VGA

Hi in this thread I am really hoping that programers will
make this interface also for VGA devices..All this time I always
envy QVGA devices, because most programers only think about them..
We as VGA user can not enjoy the great interface program like that..
So please programer or skin makers..release for VGA devices also =)
So far I only found out pointui has make VGA version also
Come on all VGA users let us support programers to create
skin programs for VGA also in this thread =D
No response
VGA user feels okay?? without this cool interface program??

Spb Mobilee Shell 2.1 + square VGA Themes

Hi Guys,
I followed with interest over the last weeks the development of Themes for Spb Mobile Shell.
There were a lot of Themes posted for QVGA devices - however few or none compatible to 240x240 (eg Treo) or 320x320 (eg i780) square VGA Devices.
After an exchange with JOPIEJ (who contributed some square Themes) I would like to start this new Threat - as the original Threats really become a little bit too difficult to follow with numerous Posts every day!
So - pls start posting away yr Mobile Shell compatible sqaure VGA Themes!
I thought this was a great idea..... but i guess the 240 x 240 is a dieing breed...
Perhaps you guys can search the skins thread and look for jolpiej. He created a number of 240x240 themes.
Put them over here so people can refer to it.
VGA
Hi,
I would agree that 240x240 will die sooner or later - however new Devices like the i780 (and as far as I know this Device is selling quite well) as well as the upcomming Treo 850 have 320x320 VGA = there should be an increasing demand.
Hope that some of the Guys who did all this great work for current QVGA will find the time to convert to 320x320 VGA Versions as well.......just a silent Prayer

Many thanks to you- for your work on square VGA theme, from another treo 750 owner!
I've been lurking in this forum for a while, trying to learn how to make my own theme.
I'm just learning how complex it really is, but I haven't had the chance to compare files (and the necessary changes) for a VGA 240x240 phone. (The square VGA devices do not seem to be a favorite anymore.)
I'm looking forward to your new theme! (And hopefully, I can learn from your expertise!)
Thanks again!

First save your current theme files from device/program files/spb Mobile Shell into backup folder (If you unzip the new ones you will see the file names you need to save - they are the same - you will just 'replace' them.
Once you have backed up your original theme layout files, just copy the new ones into the same directory and soft-reset. Presto.

Also, i tried to adjust the status icons from the original Diamond skin to work with your Diamond+PS3 (240x240) theme with little success... I think that this could be a nice improvement.

PSSHUTXP

hi!
I want to ask for the skin developers a skin (similiar to Diamond's), for a WVGA device (like a HD, TP2, Diamond 2 etc..).
PSShutXP works great but the VGA skin makes it TOO small!
thanks
Iv designed some skins for PsShutxP but for Qvga/Vga and id love to do it for WVGA, what size is it and i can jump on it ASAP.. heres a sample of some previous work, ENjoy
Code:
http://www.smartphonejunkie.com/sicks5-themed-psshutxp-t185307.html
thanks for your help!
the size of the screen is 800x400!
here it is a screenshot with a VGA skin...
thanks for your help!
the size of the screen is 800x400!
your skin is greatt (the touchpro2)!!!!
What about a WQVGA version? 240x400 (portrait) and 400x240 (landscape)
How about someone make a version of PSShutXP that actually works on WM 6.1?
Those skin i made do work on wm6.1 and 6.5 on VGA.. there just skins if ur having a problem it might be with the actual program, i havent had a complaint so far..
Also i dont mind Designing PsShutXp skins for Wqvga/Wvga/Vga/Qvga whatever as long as some one can go into there /windows folder and post the original skin so i can see what size to make... Example the Qvga psshutxp skin size is 220x140. Another thing is Xda isnt my home site so it would be hard for me to design and post for multiple sites unless u post requests over there??
PsShutXP works perfectly on both my phones (TP2 and Universal). Both are running WM 6.1. It also works perfectly on my Dell Axim X51v running WM 6.1.
