Does any one use 1280x768 Resolution ?
Sunday, April 25, 2004 by BallzyBadAss | Discussion: Stardock Software
I could use a little help!
I have had Object Desktop for several years now, and I don''t have the talent to skin anything (I finally realized that).
The only program I have had even the littlest bit of luck with is DX,
but eventually I forget what I was trying to do in the first place.
I now rely on the talent and creativity of all you crazy skinners.
I frequent Wincustomize.com always looking for what''s new, only to find these beautiful Dx themes in Resolution 1280x1024, with plans for different resolutions later.
(see for yourself)
Is there an easy or at least somewhat easy way of changing the resolution of an entire DX theme. any help would be great
one last thing to all of the skinners who contribute there time and TALENT to the GUI........THANK YOU!!! we really do appreciate you.

The reason I bring up all this about aspect ratios is that the closer your resolution is to the ratio for which the theme was designed, the easier it will be to convert the theme. Basically what you are faced with now is converting from 5:4 to 5:3 if your resolution is listed correctly. Which means everything would stay the same width but would have to be compressed into 25% less vertical space. Depending on the theme, this could be a real challenge, and in most cases would mean redoing quite a bit of graphics, not just rearranging objects.
You would be better off to try to find themes designed for 1024x768 (there are some out there) and then expand the theme horizontally, which would not be nearly as difficult.
The other thing you could do is to find a theme you like, and very politely and persuasively ask the original artist/author if they would help you with the conversion. Sorry I don''t have any better suggestions than these. Good luck with your search.
