They vary all over the place. Basically you need to calculate a ratio 
and set all the control sizes accordingly.

That's kind of what I meant. You either use fullscreenMode or you don't, 
but I can see a case for turning it off for a card or two when you want 
to use screen metrics only.

I think it may be resolution-dependent. Unlike iOS, Android is all over 
the map, so when the group moved up (without auto-scaling) on the 
Samsung I was using, only the tops of the icons showed. The group's top 
margin was disproportionately large and the bottom half of the icons 
were still below the stack. On other Android devices you'd get different 
results, so you'd need to do all the calculations not just for size but 
also for resolution. At least, I think so. I'm not positive any more 
because I gave up all that work the moment the engine started doing it 
for me.
