It is ready, but please read the following statements.

1) To take the advantages of WM2003SE VGA device (such as hx4700), it is necessary to make TP program "VGA-Aware".  In that way, the OS will not "qudral-pixels" for the text and images in TP and you don't have to use any hack, such as SE-VGA to run TP.  A link to show you how to make this patch is included in the readme.txt.  But here is the warning as suggested by Jim.  Do it with your own risk.  No one will responsible for any damage to your device or software or anything.  If you think it is too risky, there is a commercial program ($15.00) can do it for you.  A simple instruction to set the skin up is included in the readme.txt too.  Please feel free to ask any question.

2) As I posted previously, all the images are from original Hammerskin without any "tune-up" except making them 4 times bigger.


Here is the link

Edit:  Thanks for great Timmy, right now we have btter images for VGA skin.  The original VGA images made by me will be removed.

Here are some icons I collected from Internet and the resolution and size are made for Hammerskin.  There is one blue clock image looks very cool.  Got this one from the BlueMind-VGA skin that I downloaded from www.ppc-welt.info.

Since uk took the time to VGA the HammerSkin, I took his work and USAed it (I hope this is okay uk...??)

This involved changing the 24 hour times to 12 hour with am/pm and moving the first vertical calendar bar to the left side of the calendar.

Looks like I can't post my skin.... is there anyone who could do this for me??

No problem, thex.  If you still have the problem, send it to me uk_skinner@comcast.net.

Quote from: uk_skinnerTimmy, you definitely will be better than me.  I have no sense of art.. :oops:  Could you PM me your email address?  Thanks.

Uk_skinner,

In the meantime I received your VGA pics, made from the normal (QVGA) pics. You resized them to 200%, but - indeed - that's not with great results... I agree with you.

I also tried to rezise the pics in three several ways, but still the pcitures are not sharp and clear. So I have to redraw several parts of each picture. But that's a job that needed many, many hours of my free weekly hours I have to spend on this hobby. I'm willing to do this job, but I must be sure that

no-one else also is doing this,

cause that's waste of time! Is anybody occupied with this job??? If not: I'm beginning this weekend.

I agree with you.  I tried one time and gave up becuase it indeed needs a lot of hours and sense of art.  I have none of them.  The only thing I know is Wichtel mentioned to me that he will come out something once he finishes 1.05.  Maybe he will response your question when he see your post.  He is the original creator of the images.

First of all thanks uk for posting these..

Here are the links to the USA version of uk's VGA Hammerskin.

This version has no RSS on the Main screen. I extended the Agenda to fill the rest. This is the version I use..

thex:  Good Work :approve:
What VGA device your are using?  Did you use any hack?

Just replaced my HP 5555 with the 4705. I used the hack you described earlier in the thread to T+ and it worked great. I know my screenshot looked bad I was using GetPDAScreen and it reduces it to QVGA.

here is the screen shoot in all of its VGA glory!

@ Uk_Skinner

Don't be irritated about the VGA images now.  :D
The whole thing is only half as heavy as it looks.  :wink: Although it absolutely lasts for a couple of hours to make the images however, no great problem represents for me.
I am missing only the testing since I don't have a VGA device. :cry:  You are in demand there now.  
You find the "Pfeilrechts.png" in the attachment. This image is used in the signs of the zodiac. Somebody of you should load the image and make a screenshot that I know whether I am on the right way.
Greetings Wichtel
