VGA to QVGA??

Today I found some of the coolest skins & themes but then was dissapointed to find out that they were only for VGA devices.

Is there a way to change a VGA skin or theme to QVGA????

You should be able to use something like Thememaker / McDeb to change the theme. Open the file with McDeb, then select QVGA instead of VGA and save it again.

If you don't have McDeb (http://www.mcdeb.com/tmmcdeb/) I'm not sure what your options would be.

VGA is 640x488
QVGA is 320x240 (i think)

If you have an x51v - your device is VGA and basically has 4 times the resolution that a QVGA device would have. :approve:

VGA = 640x480
QVGA = 320x240

Axim x51's have QVGA screens. X51v's have VGA screens, hence the 'v'.

Actually ... 4 times is a bit misleading. While 640x480 is technically 4 times the number of pixels, saying it has 4-times the resolution is not quite true. It would be more accurate to say the device has twice the resolution - because it has twice the data-presentation capability (dots) in each dimension. Your screen objects (if rendered with the same bit-map resolution) will appear half the size on the 'V' as they will on the QVGA. Yes, you can fit 4 QVGA screens into VGA field but - as I pointed out above, that doesn't make it 4 times the resolution.

It seems that WM5 VGA theme would display full screen under a WM5 QVGA device.
