Different languages, different desktop sizes?

I'm trying to make some new skins, but I encounterd a new problem. I own a 9210 and a 9210i, One has the English as language, the other one has Dutch.

I made skins for the 9210i, but when I used them on the 9210 I notised a slight difference in the desktop size, making the skin not fitting 100%.

It seems that the English version has a desktop size of 454x200, while the Dutch version uses 463x200. Is there a way around this? Because I want my skins to fit at any desktop size....

Please help me...

And if someone uses a different language than Dutch or English,
would he/she be so kind so tell me the desk-size of that language?

😞 😕

sorry dude they look the same to me😕

and i dont think its possilble for a diffrent size screen because of the language but maybe because of the phone

Well, the whole screen is always 640x200, but in the dutch version the sidepanel with the text is smaller than the English version, leaving more space for the wallpaper.

So wallpepers for the Dutch version have to be 463x200, while the English version has a wallpaper size of 454x200. So when I create a skin with a wallpaper of 463x200, the rightpanel will fitt perfectly, but it will give a 9 pixel gap in the English version....
