Answer 1

The the screen sizes are not the same ratios you could add multiple sized images to the project and based on the screen res use the appropriate image. (Large App Size)

If the image is a gradient and gradient portion ends at the lowest screen res you could fill the remaining background with the solid color the gradient ends with.

For controls you can use layout managers and build in styles to center and stretch controls to the width of the actual BB. Try to avoid using fixed width to make your app the most compatible. If you've developed web apps the same concepts apply.

Hope this helps.
