Thanks for your response, I'm glad you're still into it.
You're right, there is one major obstacle which makes it nearly impossible to convert 0.5 themes to Locus: stylemenus and categories with overlays, as described here:
https://github.com/mapsforge/mapsforge/blob/master/docs/Rendertheme.md#stylemenus
It opens up a lot of possibilities, so I made intensive usage of it in my new previews. But it needs a user interface with mapstyle and layer selection.
Other new tags may possibly be converted by a script as a workaround for the time being.
Other apps which support Rendertheme V4 still support older themes (except Locus extensions of course), so backward compatibility is no problem.
Best regards,
Tobias

Best should be, if you should make just one theme for all apps right? Them may you write first (maybe first two) major things I should examine in new XML file and which you really desperately needs? Thanks

And what does it mean for all other themes?
