Port to other devices?

[sabisgeek]

Hey guys, i was wondering, is there any way (obviously other than making the theme again) to port themes over to other devices easily? I know about the screen size thing (same size>can use theme) but what i need help for is, for example, a 85XX theme to a 9700 theme.

Thanks!
(And if you guys can post which phones have the same screen resolution, that would be great! I always forget them, for some reason.)

Edit: Got the screen sizes off of wikipedia, for anyone who wants them: List of BlackBerry products - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 320x240 devices are: 8520/8530/9300

The 480x320 device is: 9000

The 480x360 devices are: 8900/9630/9650/9700/9780

I didn't include the Storm 1/2 or the Torch...If you want it it's on the website!

Now, can a theme i make for the 8900 work with a 9700 running OS5? Can i work on similar terms? So if i want to make themes for these devices, i only have to make 3 (assuming they are all running the same OS)?

Where the OS level is the same you can use the import function, unfortunately you will still need to go through the theme and adjust everything to fit the new dimensions. You will also need to double check items, such as tab_focus etc, where different devices use different dimensions. Theme Builder will scale items where the dimensions are different but the results aren't always too good looking.

You probably figured out all this already but its the only way I know of.

if you make a theme for the 9700 - it will work for the 9650 / 8900 on the same OS... so you dont need to convert it. otherwise you will need to re-create the whole thing. Dont let TB re-size your images it will look horrible.

as far as OS6.. the only thing you can pull in is the SVG. otherwise.. its a complete rebuild.

Daym. Well thanks guys. I don't know how you don't go crazy from repetition . But I guess its not THAT bad, I only have to create it 5 times.
Thanks for the awesome help!
