Yes, I understand that, it's just there area few things that are not 
applicable or different on Diablo. For example, fullscreen/windowed mode is 
hard to accomodate for automatically because of the lack of the left toolbar 
and functional differences in the top one. Also, many of the UI concepts that 
make Fremantle are simply not available on Diablo - even simple ones like 
background blurring to make dialogs stand out more can cause confusion (will 
existing Diablo users realize they need to click outside of the dialogs to 
close them ?), etc. None of these will make you app useless, of course, but 
they will suffer both visually and usability-wise. And please do not 
underestimate UI consistency, for average users it's a lot more important 
than for most people on the -dev list :)
