There are many skins created for the great PCMKeyboard by xda-developer Tene, but few have been made for VGA devices (Mine is a Dell x51v).
Here is one I made, modified from the iPhone_big skin by Underwaterdub. My graphics are a little rough, as it is only my second attempt at skinning. Let me know how it works on your device. This was created for v.9b and not tested for previous versions. (Edit: does not display well in v.10)
If you have a VGA skin that you would like to share, please post it here.
(Note: screen shot made before the letters Z and Y switched for US keyboard layout).
It looks ugly... :/ Sorry, but I can't say that this is nice...
Actually the best looking VGA theme is Touch VGA theme made by me...
This is official VGA version of default PCMKeboard Touch theme....
No way! My VGA theme is much much better, it owns all other PCM kb themes out there.. lol Just kidding.
Yeah, the skin is very dirty, the images are misaligned. Nice try anyways.

Actually no..
I don't have sources to make VGA skins based on iPhone,
and don't have a time to start new project...

It needs more optimization for VGA devices like Universal. I tried your skin with v.10.
Come on.....I said it was rough.... but "Ugly"?
I admit, Touch VGA is actually much Much MUCH better. I had hoped this would turn into a place where we can share VGA themes, and/or even improve on each other's work, not just a place to be critical about my attempt at scaling another persons layout. Hey, posting such an "ugly" theme should encourage others to show how it is should really be done. <:nudge> The topic title is "VGA skins for PCM Keyboard (post them here) ", not "Bash NonPaqs Ugly Skin". I was not in any way posting mine to encourage others to use it, instead I was posting it to show that anyone can do it. I showed you mine, now show me yours.
Also, dont even try it with v.10. It does not work with layout mods in the latest version of PCM Keyboard. Now THIS IS REALLY UGLY!!
(Edit: I just looked back at opening post.... I guess I asked for it by saying "Let me know how it works on your device". I will try to tweak it if it is possible. BTW... is there a VGA iPhone look-alike keyboard skin out there?)
Try this VGA skin......
I don't have a VGA device, so it might not be perfect....
@nonpaq
you may use this one as the base for further fine tuning...
Hope you all enjoy...
@all
could someone post a screenshot???
the name should be iPhone not iPod. You have to excuse me... It's my third glass of wine....
Here is a screenshot of Underwaterdubs own VGA version.
The second screenshot is of Mr. Grouch's wonderful Touch_VGA skin, which is the official VGA version recommended by Tene.
Anyone know why both are displaying too far down in portait mode, partially blocking the soft key bar? This is in v.10. They both allign perfectly in v.9.
Also, you can see that neither displays well in VGA Landscape.
(It looks like the keys get scaled, but not the backcound images.)
Fixed TouchVGA in Landscape
I resized the background jpg in Touch_VGA.skin to 640 pixels, and now it displays correctly in landscape. I still dont know why it is displaying too far down.

These are nice variations of the Touch skin ( specifically found here ). , but I dont see where it says they are VGA. Do you know if they have been officially fixed for v.10 landscape?
I manually fixed my modified Touch_VGA (slightly taller button version) to work in landscape by expanding the background image to 640 pixels.
BTW, Anyone else see the keyboard displaying too low on their VGA device? I'm wondering if this is just on my Dell Axim x51v.
(My skin is not yet ready for release, but here are some screen shots)
Edit: I added the skin for your review (note I use sapnish+.layout. It will look different depending on layout used). Rename .skin.zip to just .skin
If you really like BIG keys, here is a v.10 VGA mod of pcmk_bigblack skin found here on pocketcm phorums.
The only problem I see is that when using the tap-n-hold symbol keys, there is a noticible delay for the keyboard to darken and the extra keys to display. This is probably due to repainting such a tall keyboard.
This started out as an exercise in W?BIC...
I present to you "Wooden Big Keys" for VGA!
Based on BigBlack, which was based on Touch.
(can be used with any standard layout file. Attached is the only the skin file. Just rename .zip to .skin )
ugly... just kidding.
looks good. thanks for making vga skins.
Original Touch_VGA fixed for v.10
In case you havent heard, Mr Groch has fixed his Touch_VGA skin to display properly in v.10 landscape. The difference between this one and the one I posted earlier is that his is better
Find it here in the PocketCM forums.

HTC Home skins thats look like diamond one there is one in this forum
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392998
but for "3D Touch-sensitive navigation control" i dun understand it yet?
i think he kinda waffled on a bit, the last bit of the sentence is unneeded.
anyway, it has been ported in mobile shell, on my mates touch, it looks amazing, and goes right into the system, much like pointui, but not for vga devices sadly

The newest version of Throttle Launcher has a skin that is almost an exact duplicate of TopuchFLO 3D. You can chek it out here: www.throttlelauncher.com
First of all I love the touch it black by itje. But I want to change the home screen to have the diamond look. Like the the diamond home screen Touch-IT Diamond v3 20226. But I tried flashing to the rom. It didn't work the mms didn't work right. please help.
Having recently installed XBmod Manila Rhodium VGA Port (here) i was annoyed that my comm manager skin was still the stock O2 blue skin
I search for ages to try and find someone how had made a black one, the closest i came was this which isnt black and this which had render issues and had the white left buttons, so it might not be perfect but i made one.
If anyone has any suggestions or the original Manila Rhodium VGA background on its own please send it and your suggestions over and i will see what i can do.
Also ive design this so it will just replace your existing skin and not change the existing options on your comm manager page like add the 3g button if you dont already have it.
PS ignore the background looking so crap in the screen shot, this is largely because of soti pocket controllers preview mode being a lower colour base.
