IMO, 4.11 is already disruptive change for mobile apps (at least for iPad 2).

It looks like the FXG skins were created from a template for a particular DPI (160 and 240) and modified for all other DPIs. Also, the entries in sdk\frameworks\projects\mobiletheme\defaults.css seem to have been hand tweaked. We dont have any history on the mobile skins, how they were created, etc. I think it would be too disruptive to change it now. Perhaps we could document a way to modify it for folks who want more control? What are our options? On the other hand, as I am working on the new Android 4.x skins, I am thinking of having just one set of FXG files for all DPIs and just scaling everything as required. The fonts, etc. could be specific to DPIs. Any thoughts on that? Thanks, Om > > Maurice > > >
