Of course you can use VFI to create custom views - for different platforms, devices, releases or whatever flavors. XE7 took a common case - devices - and made that simpler by having only one unit and load a second resource automatically. Theoretically Lazarus could be extended to do the same (or more flexible), but the LCL will still use the native controls, so the "preview" is limited.
