For example, a rounded button with with a corner radius of 10 can be scaled from 100x30 to 150x30 based on the text. But, if we want to maintain the same corner radius of 10, we will need regions in the skin to indicate which portions can scale and which should not. This is the kind of scenario where we will want to use 9-slice scaling. This way, we can build skin for a 100x30 button, specify the 9-slice scaling rules and let the framework take care of scaling it to various sizes. This tutorial [1] gives a nice, visual explanation.

I was thinking of re-purposing the Android 4.x skins as well. It would be fun to see how an Android-y web app looks like. Thanks, Om > > -Alex > >
