Made a QVGA Homescreen that uses Facade and FissTraveller.
Posted on SBSH.net and Modaco but I thought I'd post a link here as well.

Thanks. Not 100% happy with it and I'd like to add additional screens, but it's getting there.

The biggest pain is that I cant have a totally balck bottom bar as far as I can tell so I had to blend in that grey.

That's odd. I know that it is possible using WM2003. I wonder what's going on here. :?

It's probably that I dont know how. Maybe the XML color codes are different.

I had the hardest time with the colors this time for some reason. Sometimes colors are tied to multiple things....like the highlight in calendar. It's totally nuts.

I had an old color chart someone made, but MS should provide that showing everytjing that is tied to an XML color attribute.

Does it work on a mpx220? Otherwise from the picture it looks great.

I don't think it would work very well. QVGA is a higher resolution, so I don't think things would scale down too well. You could always try. It won't hurt - but I don't expect much.

Nah! The images are scaled for 320 x 240 screens. MPX220 has a 176 x 220 screen
