96 DPI resources?

[toadlife]

This is pretty much directed at Ivan since he seems to be the only experienced Wing cook left around here, but anyone else with knowledge can chime in.

How do you get newer 96DPI resources for the Wing...or any older phone?

6.1 builds like 21051 are floating around everywhere, but the resources are always 192DPI.

Can you convert them to 96, or just use 96 DPI resources from older builds?

They're everywhere, but due to 6.1 being "old" now, no one really posts it by itself now.
Easiest way is to get a kitchen from another QVGA device.
6.5 96DPI files, on the other hand, are much easier to come by.

Can't you just use a resource editor in combination with Photoshop batch conversion to quickly convert all of the resources? :confused:

I'd imagine that with a Photoshop script, you could run the entire thing since Photoshop script files can make calls to external applications. All you'd need is a resource editor with the proper command-line options. Alternatively, AutoIt or something similar would also work.


On that note, Anolis is a pretty advanced freeware resource editor. It should work on XP, Vista, Windows 7, and their 64-bit variants (with the exception of the very rare IA64 versions of Windows XP, not to be confused with the more popular AMD64, aka "x64").


Feel free to let me know if I'm off-base here.

I should also mention that Anolis features support "packages," which are basically tarballs of resources that are inserted into their respective files. There are multiple modes for working with the packages (such as "replace only resources that already exist" and so on), but that's for another thread. Just figured I'd mention it here in case anyone is interested.

Technically, you COULD make them yourself but that would be a lot of extra work... a LOT of extra work.
