Hi there,
I got stuck with a 640x480 screen, no 640x480 available skins and not enough time to create a skin...
So I wrote this little program that will take a skin's XML file and modify all the x,y,width,height and font size values within it to fit a different resolution...
Once that's done you just have to resize the skin bitmap and that's it, you're done....
I offer no support for this, and you can take the source code and improve it if you like. But basically it did the job in a second for me, so I thought you guys might like it :)
All I ask is that if you do use it to resize skins you download that you make the skins available for all of us....
Hopefully we will soon have all the available skins in rez's from 640 to 1280 :)
the program:
http://www.scanlinez.org/atomixres/atomixres.exe
the code:
http://www.scanlinez.org/atomixres/atomixres.c
usage:
atomixres.exe infile outfile inres outres
infile The theme's XML file
outfile The output XML file to be created
inres The theme's current width in pixels
outres The theme's desired width in pixels
Enjoy :)

Infact, I've put a 640x480 version of the default skin up on my site too...
It's XML file is an unmodified output from my little program.
It is not perfect, mostly with the round knobs where the co-ords seem to be out by one on each consecutive frame, but then I can't do everything for ya, especially not in 10 seconds flat :)
Anyway, for the hell of it:
http://www.scanlinez.org/atomixres/Default640.xml
http://www.scanlinez.org/atomixres/Default640.bmp
(I'm sure someone can tidy it up!!)

as it says above really....
here's an example for taking the default skin from 800x600 to 640x480.
1) copy "default.bmp" and "default.xml" from your atomix skins directory into a new directory. Here I'll use "c:skins"
2) open "default.bmp" in an image editor and resize it to be 640 wide and make sure that you maintain the image aspect ratio so that it is the correct height.
save it as "default640.bmp"
3) open a command prompt and type the following:
atomixres "c:skinsdefault.xml" "c:skinsdefault640.xml" 800 640
The file "default640.xml" will now be created and should have everything resized to fit into 640x480....
So you can now put "default640.xml" and "default640.bmp" in your atomix directory and use them.
This is not perfect, it's not designed to be. resizing images will not give you pixel perfect accuracy so there will be some minor display issues, but this program is designed to do 98% of the dog work for you.
From here you can tweak the settings to tidy things up a little....
hope that helps....

bugger, the HTML ate my slashes on the example filenames being passed into the program in the example above, so make sure you put them back in :)

Yes sorry andi, I downloaded the .exe and when I opened it obviously nothing happened. Thanks for the instructions : )

I think the prog you wrote (source code) is nice done ;). Altough C# and System.Xml namespace could have been more easy.

It didn't work for me when I tried to resize a 1024 skin to 1280.

It's a really nice piece of code.. however, as you said it messes up the skin when rounding the coordinates and crunching those pixels down to size...
Any kind of antialiasing or whatever it's called would be nice to fix the graphical problems.. it would make it a bit softer/blurry but you'd have no stray pixels wandering about :)
