Yes - the geometry may be tricky for scaling - but it may be quite easy, as
the points will auto scale with the height and width scaled correctly. I'd
be happy to add this as it is the sort of thing I do a lot of - it would be
good to start with the right geometry for the base case first though. There
are only two real navigation bar heights I think that are used in any case.

By "dividing line" I guess yo mean the horizontal position of the tip of the
pointing triangle, and the main ramp in the gradient? Yes that is a bit
high, the triangle is not symmetrical, and the places where it meets the to
an bottom of the border are not rounded and a bit points? This is the main
thing.

It would also be good to know what the official default system fonts are,
and the heights for the various elements:

So far apart form the basic screen dimensions, I have (for iPhone):

   - status bar = 20 pixels
   - Keyboard 216 pixels
   - Navigation bars (I think) = 44 pixels
   - minimum touch area = 44 x 44 pixels
   - Url text field (ie navbar + title above) = 60 pixels
