As i have searched on internet there is hack for Htc Athena for Vga mode.(640x480)
can this be done with some software hack for Htc Artemis someway (even virtually, only to have smaller icons on screen, and when opening Web browser to have virtual 640x480 resolution) ???

VGA = 640x480 pixels
QVGA = 320x240 pixels

You cannot make a QVGA device sudenly into VGA not possible - Mike

Athena is a vga device and the hack is to make old non vga aware programs run fullscreen
making every pixel fill out 4 pixels

artemis is a qvga device only hack it could do with vga would be to omit every other pixel
resulting it well still beig a qvga device

lcd's pixels are a spc size unlike old crt where the size of the phosper being bomb'd by the electron beam and be adjusted
lcd's cant ever make it's 320x240 display more info then 320 rows and 240 columns of colours

There is a program called ozVGA that was used for that purpose I think. I used it on my old HP Ipaq rx3715 and it worked partially. It made the fonts smaller, harder to read and a little blurry. I think in IE I could see more and that was the reason I was using it. But since there are Browsers with zoom functions I had no use for this program any more.

Be sure to make a backup before you use this tool. It messes heavily with the registry. If you aren't an expert you won't get around a hard reset if you fail.
