Wow that's a wide screen...the 1600x1050 ones are too tall for you? Can you change your screen res?

It's the native res of my acer aspire 7738g laptop, so no, everything else looks like crap. 16x9 format ,"real" widescreen. I'm pretty happy with it tbh ;)

Then we don't have anything right now, but I imagine you could modify one of the 1600x1050 ones and just shrink the library pane.

The skins Phoney1600x1200-UXGA and PhoneyDark1600x1200-UXGA are effective 1584 × 1100 pixels now.
It takes only two simple steps and you have these skins modified for 1600x900 screens.

1.
Open the file skin.xml with your text editor (e.g. Notepad++) in the respective skin folder and change around line 105 from
Code: Select all
<Size>1562,658</Size>

to
Code: Select all
<Size>1562,548</Size>

2.
Crop the file background1600x1200.png with your image editor (e.g. Paint.net) in the respective skin folder from 1584 × 1100 pixels to to 1584 × 900.

Hope it helps,

You are perfectly safe to try a 1440x900 skin, you could even maximize it.

That's not true. At worst, if you load a skin that's bigger than your screen, you just won't see all of the controls. If you load one that's smaller, it just won't fill up the screen, so yes, 1440x900 is best for now.

That's a thing I really like :D VirtualDJ for example looked so ugly at 1680x1050 -.-
