  Please report any issues to the bug tracker following all the guidelines, or it won't be investigated.

  I thought an expression that at 30 fps adds 2, or 120fps adds 0.5, and so on

  If you want to basically add 1 to a variable every tick, but take in to account framerate independence, then that's 60 * dt. It will do exactly what you said: every tick it will add 2 at 30 FPS, 1 at 60 FPS, 0.5 at 120 FPS, etc.

  With the new Binary Data object you could download the files and save them to storage keeping them in binary (so no base64 bloat). Then you can load them from storage back in to Binary Data, and load BinaryData.GetURL in to the sprite.

  I can't tell what's going on then I'm afraid, I'd need to see running code that I could debug.

  Did you check the effects SDK documentation?

  Is it set to pre-draw? i.e. this._info.SetMustPreDraw(true);

  That will fully render the object normally to a texture then process the effects from that. Otherwise it draws directly with the first effect, which only works for trivial quads (like Sprite does).

  Global layers are designed to solve this problem. It means you just have a single layer which is repeated across other layouts, so you only need to make changes in one place. See Layers in the manual.

  In the runtime, the blend mode, color (including opacity) and Z elevation are applied automatically before the Draw() call.

  It's not possible with global variables. Instead try using a global Dictionary object. You can use expressions for the key names with that.

  Yes, there's very little we can do about it, as I mentioned previously:

  There's nothing much we can do about app vs. browser performance - the performance is determined by the Android System Webview, so this would be something to report directly to Google.

  The Text and SpriteFont objects don't use CSS, so none of the CSS styling considerations are relevant. They render directly in to the canvas instead of using DOM elements.

  You can probably use special characters like a non-breaking space to get blank spaces which still fill the background color. You could also try the [hide] tag.

  Often people run in to issues with layout scroll bounds. Try turning on "unbounded scrolling" on the layout and that will get out of your way.

  This and other changes are documented in the manual entry on the C3 runtime.
