Where are they? I've seen the skin page for M2D but all of the skins are in VGA.
Is there a page for the QVGA themes or am I missing something?

These are all qVGA. i even try a few not too long ago on my kaiser and they work fine...
I've tried three of them and they all start 1/4 of the way up my screen.
EDIT: I've realized this is because my screen is WQVGA so now my question is, are there themes for WQVGA?
Sound like you are loading a QVGA skin on a VGA screen or even a WQVGA screen. But I have a Touch I have been using most of the skins linked above on and have had no problems. What is your screen resolution?
There are not many out there..just search for manila 2d themes for wqvga
Is there a way to easily convert the themes to wqvga without having to know xml and other programming languages?

i have the same situation (top/bottom bar too small and "invisible" buttons)
how can i solve this problem....
It is because Expea is a VGA theme. By using a VGA hack you are fooling the device in to thinking it is a QVGA device and loading resources accordingly.
You will need to use a QVGA theme in order for it to display correctly.
The default Wizbar theme displays just fine.
does exists an expea2 wa2 qvga theme that replace the original expea2 vga?
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.
Hey everybody,
I created some themes for the great Pocket CM (v0.15), feel free to try these.
Allblack.cmt:
A clean and simple as possible theme, black background, white letters, thats all
Apple.cmt:
White background and a lot of apple logo's, Somehow I just can't get this theme to work the way I want to, but as I don't want to use it for myself I stopped working on this one. Feel free to use these and please give me some feedback.
HTCTouch.cmt:
Inspired on the HTC Dailer plugin
And my personal favorites:
PimpedTouch.cmt:
HTCTouch with some cool b&w backgrounds
Silver:
B&W theme with silver accents, custom icons and nice backgrounds.
Update
Silver2
Because Pimpedtouch was a winner, and I liked the silver one, I've combined them into silver2 (how original).
Another update
Sunset
I wanted to bring some color in your life, so here a theme with some nice sunsets, but still usable.
Please post some screen shots.
1&2 = Silver theme
3 = allblack
4 = HTC Touch
5 = Apple (work in progress)
6&7 = Pimpedtouch
That's cool..Great work thx Pimpedtouch is very nice ...
Themes are (especially the "pimped") very clean and smooth. No hiccups, lol. Way to go!!! I look forward to more of your work.
Vga Themes Required
any chance for VGA Themes
Grea themes, thank you!
Pimped looks GREAT!!!! One question though:
Are these QVGA compatible? (I have a Treo)
These themes are all QVGA (240*320)
I can (try to) make a VGA theme, but I don't use those.
@ farehmani: which one do you want in VGA?
This is my first VGA theme.
Please give comments, I have a QVGA device, so I can't test this one...
Please upload screenshots too, because I'm curious how it ended
Some information, it has some Iphone-like buttons and backgrounds of dark cities (nightshots). Also a lot of transparancy, I don't know if pocketCM supports them all.
Please post screen shots. If they are like the pimpedtouch theme. I am all for them. That theme was hot.
The Blue theme on the pcm forum is my favorite..
love it!
I don't have a emulator, so I cannot test the VGA version...
can somebody please test the VGA version and post screenshots?
Here you go, VGA version of Dark City. Everything displayed (icons, letter, pictures), is just huge and literally spilling of the screen.
Is that the screen on a VGA (480x640) or QVGA (240x320)screen? Somebody at the Pocket CM forum said it worked ok, so I'm confused...

thanks
Can you post some screenshots in 480x640 for me please? Then I can see what to improve...
