Need help with my VGA hack

---

I've started work on a VGA hack along the lines of OzVGA or SE_VGA.

I have identified the reg keys that need to be changed to get the display in to real VGA mode, and I have obtained the 96dpi files from a QVGA version of WM5.

Now, the VGA mode works fine with everything nice and small but, my icons aren't displaying correctly, with things like the phone icon being displayed for settings and mail icon for calender. Also, contacts won't display at all.

The reg keys to change are:

[HKLM\Drivers\Display\GPE\]
LogicalPixelsY change to 96 from 192
LogicalPixelsX change to 96 from 192

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today]
DPI change to 96 from 192

I'll post the QVGA files later.

Can someone with experience of how OzVGA was programmed give me a hand?

hey this is great...i have no experience with programming but im hoping you correct your vga hack and post it here for all of us to use

how about 144dpi

I've been messing about with 144DPI and I think this has the potential to be the perfect res.

Reckon there's any potential to get what we need to make this work?

I find 96dpi is a bit harsh when it come to quick stylus navigation ! caqll me a novice if you must!

MrGinger,

Rilot stated in an earlier post that when he adusts the font dpi settings the icons aren't displaying correctly.

Are your icons displaying correctly?

nope I get media player fonts all over the place in my start menu

and sbp pocket plus renders all over the place.

but the font looks nice for a non-native res

But if the right files and dll were found/built this would be a sweet res

This device would be excellent for "VGA Mode"...

Looks like it may take a while for a VGA hack for WM2005 to be implement...

The icons are stored in a .dll file that is loaded at startup - at least according to this article: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...c.php?p=365279

It's detailed technical expalanation of how VGA works - at least in WM2003SE. I'm sure there have been minor changes, but for those who have some programming skills it may help get this working. I read the article but it's a bit over my head.

Nice job but i cannot find [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today] with a dpi setting to change.

Mike

It's there.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today

Looking at it right now.

Its there but there are no stings to modify for the dpi.
