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

Resolution - is it a problem? Let's resolve this and come to a resolution.

Ok, a question that needs answering that has popped up in my mind from time to time is about resolution.
#1. If a person buys a Asus P565, or Touch Diamond with 640x480 VGA res display, will the games and programs that used to run in 320x240 on my TYTN res be now a small square on the screen?
#2. Or again, If a person buys a Sony Xperia X1 or the Asus P835 (Glaxy 7) and is running a program that used to run on a 320x240 display but now it is running on the Xperia that has a 800x480 will it be in a small square, or will it be full screen and all distorted, will it be cut off on the sides, what happens?
Basically, what happens? Will everything be screwed?
The answer to the problem?
Doesn't anyone know what will happen?
there r some apps which are auto resolution or use force mode.Also there are few progs developed here by the developers for resolving the resolution.So no need to b panicky
HEHEEHH
I was actually a little nervous, so when you wrote panicky i laughed ehehheeh.. Thank man!
Problem with my resolution.

Photo and film optimal size

Hello i was wondering which is the optimal size for photos and films to fill/fit the screen.I guess you will say its 800x480 but if its so please tell me the best software to resize them.Thanks a lot.
P.S I searched around but for pics i couldnt find a resizer software with the desirable output size i am sure you know better.
Yes, the best size is 480 X 800 for photos (Portrait) and 800x480 for videos (landscape)
For resizing you can find MANY MANY apps floting around. But keep in mind that if the original photo doesn't have the right proportion and you resize it to 480X800 you'll get some distortion. The best way to achieve a good result is to resize you picture so that one of its sizes fits your phone, and the other size is bigger. Then, you simply CROP the picture to 480X800
Same rule applies for videos too...
Finally keep in mind that if you try to ENLARGE a photo, the more you enlarge it, the more distortion you'll have on the final image... Generally speaking avoid to resize anything for more than 150% as the final result will be distorted.
When you want to play video you can use the Video Encoding GUI. Works for me on the Blackstone

Whats the best screen resolution for wallpapers?

Whats the best screen resolution to set a pic as a wallpaper? My first wallpaper was 533x800 in pixels that I uploaded and set as my wallpaper and it came out perfect. It was stretched to fit the entire screen. Anyway I tried to change my wallpaper which is now smaller and when I click on the start menu its got it all in tiles so I have heaps and heaps of them it looks bad. What is the ideal size to crop it too so that it "stretches" to fit the entire screen?
The screen is VGA, so the best resolution would be 640*480 (native VGA). Obvisously if the same images are going to be used elsewhere too then a higher or lower res might be in order (to prevent them looking terrible on the other device).
Give 640x640 a shot, that way you have a good wallp even when you go to landscape.

Problem with high resolution photos

Hey,
I copy three resolutions of an image to my surface: 6099x4066, 1152x768 and 1366x911
The full resolution picture is not as sharp as the other two pictures. Why? Also if I zoom in and zoom out in the full resolution picture, the image looks horrible. I need to go to the overview and then click on the picture again to the it normal (but not so sharp). Whats the problem?
I want to convert my photos to a tablet resolution but 768px is to small for the future and the full resolutions makes problems now.
Best regards,
neon
Hi, I dont have one and was just trolling on this section of the Forum as I was thinking of buying one, but it might be due to the picture having to resize and optimize to fit the screen? It might be but its just a guess.
Ok, but the other versions must also be resized and ony the really big version has this problem.
It could be because the Big one has to either decompress or compress to fit, can remember which. >.<
