hi Scott , yes that method works fine with image sprites.. however for the likes of normal components , Labels , text boxes , buttons etc it does not provide any options.
it would be ideal to be able to insert background images into horizontal/vertical arrangements and overlay these elements in that fashion.
perhaps for a future revission.
using checks for screen resolution (x,y) this could be controlled some-what ... by using fixed sizes for arrangments if x>(screen x) or y>(screen y).. else stretch image which maybe the intended result ;)

also.. being able z-index images outside of the canvas (component) would have advantages as well.. combinded with fixed / relative positioning .. developers could set for example a partial gradient background layer with z-index-1000 ; a top which they could have a horizontal / vertical arragement .. with background images of type .png / gif ... these could be absolute possitioned or relative with some function to be able to fill parent or fixed size.. and positioned anywhere within the arrangement.. this could be a little tricky agreed .. therefore being able to use either fixed size.. 50:50px or stretched x/y (or both) would be sweet.. as for components these perhaps could also contain a grow/shrink factor .. pending on resolution of drvice app being viewed on..

Multitouch is sorely needed for pinch and zoom to work properly.
