Internet Explorer image

Hi all
I have a xda exec, and when I use internet explorer all the image seems blury. Is that just me or a common issue with VGA pdas? thank you
It's normal, since IE on a VGA device doesn't work in True VGA mode, i.e. the pictures are forced to expand over its dimensions. For example, a 100px x 200px photo will be forced to display at 200px x 400px in order to compensate the higher resolution of the screen, which is why the pictures look blurred.
I kinda figured that.... So is there any software or ways to solve this?
Try OzVga, it's free and lets you switch between real VGA and the standard mode.

Lower RES on Opera 9.5 vs. previous versions of Opera..?

Has anyone noticed that when a picture in focus that the RES is less than a previous version of Opera? I had 8.5 on a VGA device and granted there was not a double tap zoom, the images looks so much better. Is there is way to get the images sharper in 9.5? Use the google web page as a reference.
you probably want to turn off cleartype, and also mobile carriers deliberately degrade the quality of pics, if you want to see them in true quality, you will have to connect via wifi
Yea, I have clear type off and did not try in wifi but I know the oder versions of opera had it really clear wifi or not...

Forcing display into QVGA mode. Is it possible?

I have done a quick search here and on google and found a couple of apps that are freeware that allow to force a certain resolution downwards from the native resolution.
This is my issue. I have a couple of old apps that come from WM2003 times that where specifically written for QVGA and on there they don't look right. Is there a registry hack or any software out there that will force the screen to display 240x320 by default.
I know this is kinda silly to run the phone in a lesser resolution it was designed to do, but I hope someone might have a solution to this?
Thx
I think there was an app for switching between 640x480 (VGA) 480x800 and 480x480, but not for lower resos im afraid

Aspect ratio in HTC Album / Fullscreen viewer

Does anyone know how to get the aspect-ratio button described in this pocketnow story --
http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6541
-- to appear when watching videos with the player that comes up via HTC album? My impression was that the album/fullscreenplayer updates in recent ROMs should do it, but from the few I tried (ROMeOS, Proven), that didn't seem to be the case.
The closest I've ever gotten myself was installing the Blackstone version of the FullScreen Player, then toying around with the skin file to try to get the whole interface on the VGA screen (since it was built for the WVGA of the Blackstone). I got the button visible, but it didn't seem to do anything -- I'm not sure if further skin tweaking might have fixed it.
Anyone have any luck with this?

Skyfire (internet explorer)

Skyfire is internet explorer with flash player support

Although it works on (W)VGA devices, you don't see more then you would on a smaller screen.
The screen is very unsharp cause they just doubled the pixels to make it full screen ook WVGA devices.. This way you get a sort of stretched, unclear view.
The technique itself is nice.. Flash support is great, but still it is a crappy view from devices with a resolution higher then 320x240 (or 320x400 (omnia))..
any news?
i can see the double pixelz...
are there any tweaks released?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nope, and there won't be, see the other thread in Topaz General.
