@TreKing - I was unaware of the availability of a size qualifier (i.e. "-large") for the drawable folders... I shall research this... thanks.
@Kostya - Wasn't so much a misconception on my part as taking advantage of the coincidence. The coincidence has now run out of steam... so I need to change strategy. I'll try the size qualifier... and if that doesn't work, handle sizing in code (shudder). Thanks.
