Hi guys,
I've noticed alot of programs seem to have smaller text & images when used on the new Diamond compared to my old Kaiser (Tilt).
For example, SMSSmiley's old icon in the compose form was a good size, now in the DIamond it is tiny along with the smilies. I've seen this happen going to a high-res VGA on a Dell Axim PDA too.
Is there any solution to this?
Thanks alot
Interesting...
The only thing I can think of is that you're using third-party software designed for QVGA rather than VGA. I have no issues with the size of the built-in application icons / text.
Sorry, but I can't think of any other reason why you'd have an issue with size. If the application is designed for VGA devices, the sizes should be just fine
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.

Does anyone have the original TF3D Rhodium original wallpaper? VGA? I found the QVGA version here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3604201&postcount=3
which doesnt work for VGA devices (becomes tiled)
also while we're at it, what do u guys use to create themes (.tsk) files for your device?
you could just use gimp and scale that image down... I dont have the original but I am sure that the one you found would work fine.

Hi! Im sure many would want to get some WP7 look and feel to their WinMo phones as they eventuallly get bored with the ever so common look. I have gathered some themes, skins and apps which are based on WP7 metro design. Here are the list of them, but if you have seen something based on metro which is worth the share, you may post it here. PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS THEMES, SKINS AND APPS. Enjoy overhauling your phone!
