Hello Community

I made a nice iPhone skin for the emulator, instead of sleeping Wink

Downloads:

'Installation':

Note: Since version_m3-rc37a there is no need to override old skins, just unzip them to another folder and select it in the Emulator-Run Options in Eclipse.

Locate: "?:\......\android_sdk_windows_m3-?????\tools\lib\images\skins"
Backup the Folder "HVGA-P" (or similar ), by renaming it to i.e. "HVGA-P_orig"
Unzip the package to the same directory

Now if only the iPhone ran Android natively... Wink

Regardless the hardware is nice and these look like the best skins, although I'm still partial to the red one.

this is great! Is there a way to show the emulator in full screen?

I ve been playing around a little bit with this (I wanted to get the android home screen to occupy the whole screen - to give the impression it was actually running on my laptop) and it has shown not to bethat hard.

Just needed to create a skin where the phone screen occupies the whole emulator window size (at this time I think this is limited to 800x600 - the emulator wouldnt start if I put something higher than this) and remove the rest of the components: remove keyboard and get a phone image that is just the border of a 800x600 rectangle. Then hit alt+enter and voila, android full screen. Quite nice!

Maybe you could upload that Skin-Folder Question

(Its probably pretty small Wink

Ok! here it is:

MID.zip
MID.tar.bz2

This is how it looks like...

on its window:

and then hitting alt+enter

Notice that there is a 20px height bar in the botttom of the screen... Thats where the phone buttons are (I wanted to get rid of it but you need at least the menu button to unlock the thing (maybe there is a keyboard shortcut for it).

Anyway, if you want to get rid of it you just need to change the layout height from 620 px to 600 px in the layout file (near the end of the file in the portrait/landscape sections).

Note also that the background picture no longer fills the screen (it is now 800x600).

Also, I noticed that you dont even need a phone skin for this (not even a transparent one), so none is included.

Cheers

Looks good, even the default wallpaper is to small ^^
