Usually all the VGA Themes that you would find are designed for Standard SE VGA mode, they are embedding a DPI value of 192 in Decimal (You can read . This for more information).

So If you are spending most of the time in True VGA mode and if you want to change a theme, it won't be entirely displayed in your today page (I wrote a small utility that is able to resize it without a Soft Reset that you can find in the previous link).

Otherwise you can modify a standard VGA theme into a "True VGA" theme by changing the DPI value embedded in the theme using an Hex Editor.

- Edit the theme a Search for the ASCII value DPI at the beginning of the file:



Search for the C0 value at the right side of it (C0 in Hexa si 192 in Decimal). So just Change the C to 6 (to have 60 in Hexa which is 96 in Decimal).



Save the file and that's it you will have a True VGA theme.
