What about 320x320 devices with 43x43 and 21x21 icons sizes. If we don't include such sizes in icon file, wouldn't be icons stretched ?

I recommend this link: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/03/02/320x320-revisited.aspx

As a long time Windows (and now WinMo) dev, all this icon craziness has me in disbelief. The last app I wrote, I had to spend 2 days with Visual Studio's horrible icon editor to make my app's icon look right in all the different resolutions.

Hi!

Sorry for offtopic.

Is MUI-mechanism supported on WM 2003 (4.20)?

It works fine on WM 2003 SE (4.21), but we cannot get it work on WM 2003.

Thanks!

What color depths need to be included to support the widest range of devices? 4-bit, 8, 24, 32? Just 24?

I've got a working DirectX, windows mobile 6 professional application on an at&t tilt - and i'm finally to the point of packaging it up into a cab file... and for the life of me, i can't get my icons to appear after installation on the "Programs" list (and yes, I've created icons in all the recommended sizes). help - anyone?

This talk of icon sizes is all very interesting but when are we going to get some news about WM7? I've heard that it will in beta by the end of the year (don't know if that's true or not but it needs to be given the head-start enjoyed by the iPhone and others) but no details have emerged since the GUI brainstorming sketches that appeared in February.

This seems in direct contrast to the new Windows 7 (Engineering 7) blog which is making an effort to connect with the community from a very early stage.

Please check if you have mentioned correct registry entries for your app along with correct resource id of application icon.

I too would like to know an answer to the color depth question. If we put icons with 32-bit color depth, are they automatically adjusted to the lower depths?
