I am developing a popup screen application and have found out about a 'disturbing' effect of changing themes.

As it turns out, current theme not only dictates effects such as borders, shades, etc., but the position of the popup window too !

I was testing my app on 8810 simulator (which uses BB Dimension Zen theme) and have found out that the popup looked differently on my 8810 Phone with Vodafone Today theme. (it moved the popup window more to upper left)

Is there a way to circumvent such behavior?

My popup needs to cover the screen fully from left to right at a specific vertical position. And as so I must try to avoid depending on the theme.

Anyone have an ideas ?

overwrite applyTheme()

Where? This is not found in the 4.2.1 API?

It's not documented (what a treat from simon.hain - thanks)

use:

protected void applyTheme()
    {}

in your screen class, and that's it.

You'll get a blank window without borders, shades and who knows what, and, additionally, the window will be correctly positioned (my previous tests showed that the theme dislocated window positions).
