SVG Editors, anyone?

[Graham Samuel]

Thanks for the thought, Alejandro, but I don’t see how this would work when it comes to scaling. My idea would be to adapt the size of the widget to the screen size as part of the standalone, by simply changing its dimensions, and voila! the graphics in the widget would always look good. If I had to prepare a PNG for each size of screen, wouldn’t I have to do that at build time and maintain lots of differently sized PNGs instead of one single code-and-graphics base? Or maybe I don’t quite understand what you are suggesting.

The technique you suggest does look powerful, though, for preparation of apps where only one screen size is envisaged.

Thanks again

Graham
