Sounds good to me.  Did you also try a mobile app (in various dpis) to make
sure we can still use that without any changes to existing code?  That
would be crucial.

Looks awesome!  One nitpick: The 'close' button does not seem to close the
callout.  The 'OK' button seems to be working fine though.  Not sure if
this is a bug in the component or in the wrapper code.

I like the current way you have done it.  +1 from my side to keep it this
way.

I dont think so.  No other components use applicationDPI for desktop/web.
This maybe one reason why we want to maintain separate skins for
desktop/web and mobile.
