VB WAP Skin: WTH can't find a good one

Alright so yeah I've been all over the damn place and can't find a really good WAP skin for VB, I would make one myself but hell that's a lot of time invested and I really don't have that at this time.

I've tried:
Dartho's (it's alright but the admin/mod aspects were all removed, you don't see the OP starter, no which section it is in and several other thing, but it does have a nice look to it, tabled a little and so on. Easier to read the posts than the others.) I did have to edit the menu on this skin so that it would work, the drop down list doesn't work on a lot of mobile devices without a "go" or enter ability.
mobile alibama- This one was nice but there was no tabling that I was able to see and the users found it rather hard to follow the topics and so on. Also the menu wasn't editied properly so the selections didn't launch.

others- I have tried a couple other supposid WAP style skins but yeah they didn't recode properly and the fonts are still too big as well as the parts not understood weren't edited properly.


I have a large and growing number of users that browse my site from their phones and they like the ability to have faster load times and so on but I still want them to be able to have a well presented skin that will allow for easy reading and browsing allowing as much as possible to be done on mobile devices and such.

IF anyone knows of a developer that has made a quality WAP skin such as this please let me know. I have emailed a few people that will skin and all but none have actually gotten back to me on this. You think someone would be interested in making a AP skin to be sold on their sites and so on. A lot of addicted users want to be able access their favorite sites all the time when they can't be infront of a computer.

The site I'm trying to do this for is Florida Street Scene

I am currently using the Dartho skin but I need a better version, you can see the skin in action by going to:
http://www.floridastreetscene.com/fo....php?styleid=5

To get back to the standard skin easy just click here (the WAP skin doesn't have a selection ability to go to the full skin):

that's pretty cool and all but that's not compatible with Vbulletin man. I'm looking for VB skins.

BTW:

I'm running VB 3.6 and will be upgrading to 3.7 rather soon. As soon as I get off my lazy ass.

I would ask Nick at Premium vBulletin Styles - vbStartup.com or miner at Minerskinz.com - Free and Custom vBulletin Styles
Nick should be able to get you setup, and if not and you have some good cash to throw down, go to miner.

Has anyone been working on a similar project? if so let me know, I've been working on this myself but man is it a pain in the butt.

I've only gotten like 2 templates done and there are a crap load more to go yet. I'm trying to just cut out what isn't accessible on mobile devices and leave stuff like the check boxes for deleting posts and other various aspects of the scripts so that the main functions will be available but the stuff that is useless wont be there.

I knew it would be hard, but damn it's proving to be much harder than I thought, espcially seeing as my coding is a little rusty.

well I've been working on this for some time now and with getting ready to go back to school full time and so on I don't know when I'll ever finish this.

Just thought I would give an update on the story.
