K, so I just got home today to find a box on my porch. It is my Averatec 7170. I was torn betwrrn this model and the 2370, but this one was right around the proce, so I went for it. Installed vdj right away, and it works awesome. Only thing is, its a 17" widescreen, and the stock res. looks stretched when I go full screen. So, off to the skin plug-in dl page, and I find ONE skin that can fit the 1440x900 res that the lappy is native to. I really like DJ Format's skins, and have already e-mailed him a request to make his widescreen sin a resize to fit the 1440x900. The next size down is 1152x864 (Never heard of this res, but whatever) and when I try some of the other widescreen 1280 skins at that size, the skin goes off the screen.
Any tips?

I didn't like the look of 1280x800 on my 19 and I felt like 1440x900 was just to hard to read for me 1280x960 is perfect everything just looks much better to me in this res. Its a shame his graphics card won't allow it. Plus I get a bigger browser in vdj ;)

k, this program is demented! When I enter the xml, it says 1280 x 768, and I enter 1440 by 900... Everything is going alright,
but I enter the bmp, and it says the bmp i'm importing is friggin 1280x5000...........
of course I tried it anyway, and it doesn't work.
Grrr
Too late tonight, i'll try it tommorow.

I need a skin thats 1440x900 too. I'm going to try the resizer and see if i can get it to work.
If not, maybe one of you guys who can work it would change the size of a skin for us?

I tried that skin. Its a good basic skin, but to be honest, the only thing that I like about it is that it fits my screen PERFECTLY!! every word is totally legable, and easy to read. Now if I could only get the mix lab 1.2 to fit 1440x900.....

Has anyone in the VDJ community ever been able to sucessfully resize any skin to 1440x900??
I think that I may be wasting my time trying to get this to work without error.
I did try reseting my screen to 1280x800 and all the skins are washed out faded looking.
Is there a chance the fine programmers at Atomix will throw us a bone and make up a skin that we can use?Why doesnt Virtual DJ automatically fit my screen like other programs?
