Proudly presenting: Clarity V2
I was updating the good, old Clarity to Wisbar Advance 2 but decided to re-do it completely instead, so I bring you Clarity V2:
As usual, it is available at my site.

This really sweet! Thanks.
Any chance of an SE_VGA compatible version? It doesn't look like there would be much to change, just the bottom toolbar and the wallpaper in the Today Theme. See here for screenshot: http://bliki.salamandersoftware.co.uk/images/clarityv2.bmp

Doesn't all the icons have to be bigger in VGA skins?
As you can see from the screenshot the icons are all OK from a size point of view, it's just that toolbar at the bottom which gets stretched to fit the new width.
Perhaps this is a WA2 problem rather than a skin problem? I notice that WA2 indicates whether or not a skin is HiRes, but says no for all skins I have tried so far (including the deafult one).
Juni,
I have good news! After a little investigation it seems that making a skin that supports SE_VGA is very simple.
All you need to do is to change the width of the menuBar bitmap to 640 pixels and the width of the menuBar240 bitmap to 480 bitmaps. A screenshot of my 'fixed' version can be seen at http://bliki.salamandersoftware.co.uk/images/ClarityV2Fixed.bmp
The only other thing would be to provide a 480x640 and 640x480 pixel wallpaper :)

That works, but I wish there was a way to make the top and bottom bar bigger in VGA skins. Doesn't it look a bit silly when you have tiny bars and a huge screen? ;)
