If you have objects such as bars or meters that depend on placement on the screen, it can prove to be difficult. I tried making my last upload multi-res, it is close, but still requires user intervention after a screen resize. What I seem to end up doing when I dl something is change to whatever res' that I think I will use, edit the theme, and save it under a completely seperate name. Sorry if this isn't much help.

My TarkuS-X Jr them is resolution independent.

Unless your theme wraps all the way around the screen, it's not *that* difficult. And even if it does, it can usually be done with tiling.

When you have objects that fit tighly with the graphics in the Wallpaper, it is impossible. Until the day a version of DX comes out where objects can be resized with the wallpaper.

Paxx: On some (not all) themes you can get around that by making objects out of sections of the wallpaper. The Heavy Equipment DesktopX theme was (when fist designed) tied into the wallpaper. Objects were created from the background wall and it is now resolution independent. This does depend on the style of the wallpaper. If the wallpaper is mainly blank (gradients or plain colour) this method can be used easily.
