    Hey! Thanks for the skin! I only have one problem with it. Its too large for my 1280×800 resolution. Is there any quick fix I could do? Let me know by email if it's not to much to ask.

    Thank a lot

    Just add -scale 0.5 to your Run Arguments, either in Eclipse 'Run
    Configuration' or if you start with the emulator executable at the command
    line)…

    I use .5 at 1024×768, which means it will be 50% of the original size.

  • Lukas

    Thanks a lot Tim! It worked like a charm. Is it normal to see the icons and text being really small?

    This is related to the LCD Density in the hardware.ini file for the skin…
    I'm not positive, but since the default WVGA800 skin has the LCD Density at
    240.. I would imagine that is correct for the Nexus One. If you really want
    the density your used to – you could change it. I think the standard density
    is 160, but it won't be what your users would see on a Nexus One.

    Good to know Tim. Thanks for bearing with me. I'm still new to android development.
    It's nice to see someone is willing to help out.

    Hi Tim, thanks for the great work. I'm using the skin in my emulator. I've done a little enhancement regarding the sharpness of the graphic, please see my post at http://blog.mathiaslin.com/nexus-one-emulator-s…
    I hope you don't mind, otherwise please let me know. Regards, Mathias

    Hy
    where I put “add -scale 0.5″?
    thank

    If you use Eclipse to start the emulator, it's under the 'Run configurations', Target / Additional Emulator Command Line Options.
    Otherwise, if you start the emulator from command line, you just add the parameter there.

    [...] emulator skins SUCK. Yeah, I originally wanted the cool looking skins (like my Nexus One skin), but then after you develop for a while, they just frustrate you. They waste screen real estate [...]

    Thanks Mathias,

    Also note, you can use dpi as a scale option, like '-scale 96dpi' – matching
    this to the dpi of your monitor.

    I’ve used a few skins and will continue to use them as it does a phenomenal job at preventing scratches and doesn’t hold finger prints like the bare screen does on my G1. I plan to get it for the Nexus as well.

    Hi,
    My laptop is IBM R51. And when I tried to launch emulator with your skin by using scale options, it is not working. Some black screens appears and disappears immediately. Could you write to me what is wrong with it?

    Regards,

  • Nick Burton

    Sweet thanks! ;-)

    There's now a Nexus S skin: http://www.androidacademy.com/…

  • Bart

    Awesome – thanks

    Hey Tim, I've produced a set of skins for Nexus S and Nexus One (different colors) that feature a reflection overlay (plus some more features) each. You can activate these to expand the glare effect of the body above the actual screen. Feel free to download them at http://HeikoBehrens.net/2011/0…

  • Puzzlist

    Can you show us some details about how to make such a skin?

  • http://timhoeck.com/ timhoeck

    He,

    It's fairly straightforward to create a skin..

    Each version of the android platform comes with several default skins which

    you can find located in the directories under

    <android-sdk-base-directory>/platforms/android-X/skins. An android skin

    consists of a single layout file referencing a number of image files. Check

    out some of the default skins to get a grasp on what is going on…

    First, Describe the parts of the skin. The default skin parts are portrait,

    landscape, device details, and controls – this is done in the parts { }

    section (you can even add your own parts, I believe). Be aware that some of

    these are required. You might just want to change the background for

    landscape/portrait/controls that will be used and also modify the device

    display size for the appropriate device type (i.e. QVGA, HVGA, etc..)

    Second, in the layouts { } section, you describe where everything goes with

    size and x/y coordinates for each layout – portrait and landscape.

    It takes a little playing around, if you mess something up, you might get

    unexpected results or the emulator may not even start up. When you are

    finished, make sure to copy your skin into each platform folder you will

    want to use it for – platform/android-X/skins/</android-sdk-base-directory>
