Hi Andy,

Many LCD's (like mine) run at 1360x768 (well 1366x768 which you can't get) which is what I set my my xPro skin to which is the closest I can get to a 1:1 pixel mapping over DVI. 1080p screens tend to run at 1920x1080 (I think).

Keep up the good work!!!!

Yeah, it's difficult to decide which res to plum for really, most LCD and Plasma based sets seem to be migrating to 1080.

I'll see if i get any other responses or if people actually would like to see a wide screen version???? i have an idea to make it just as an exercise tho as i want to try an idea i have for navigating between screens which i havent seen anybody else try yet... 8)

Well probably everybody will scream thats nothing new, its just not a method i have seen in other skins! It's more of a style of navigating thru the design of the skin than anything else...now i think i have covered my back incase everybody cries fowl :lol:

I think 1024x768 is a good shot since it is the 1080i res. I modified Coby's blue2 to 1920x1080. There are definite differences with all that realestate. I have been happy with the results but I had to scale fonts, buttons and backgrounds to get there.
