We've been developing Forms 4.5 applications in the Windows 3.1 environment. Now we've been told we also need to port these to the Power Mac. We're finding that data items and buttons need to be resized, and fonts and colors need to be changed.  

Is there something we can do in the Forms Designer to make this transition easier, particular font selection, coordinate system, add Mac-specific property classes? Is there anything we can suggest for the desktop setup?  

In Windows development, we're currently using font, MS Sans Serif, coordinate system, real/point, mostly grays & white for colors, but we highlight current record with color r50g88b100. We're using Forms 4.5.6.5.5F on Windows and Forms 4.5.6.7.7F on Power Mac.  

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
