 I have yet to find any info on how to do it.  
I notice a while back when I had UXArchitect installed that it actually put width and height tags in the skin xml but then your stuck at one resolution.  
If it dosn't allready exist we need a Widescreen=true setting for skins so that they will scale properly on normal 16x9 TV's and upsize on HDTV's
I have a widescreen TV in the lounge but its not high def so I can't make or try them.

If anybody knows the exact skin tags for 16x9 skins please post them

and all of the images used are 800x480

as in the following image



This is only for my standard definition 16x9 tv. Not sure about the HDTV ones.

Hope this helps.

This will have the result of locking the skin in that resolution and makes it impossible to test a HDTV skin on a non HDTV TV because you just cant see half of it as its off the screen.  (at least last tine I tried)

jezz, thanks for the post...i have no doubt if you had the access to a HDTV set you would hook that up...i only know one person who may have the skills & has access to a 16x9 HDTV to do it, but he's never tried anything like that...jezz, could you give me a rundown on what apps/tools i would need to make a skin? any tips would be greatly appreciated...if anyone else out there has the a HDTV & the skills to make a skin, please do...im surprised that more people havent posted about the lack of 16x9 HDTV skins...
