Sorry I read your response on my phone then got on the computer to respond. Bit of a disconnect.

What you describe would work. The theme defined in the `-v11` folder would completely override the one in the default folder. Having one in the regular file is not *required* (but usually needed). In fact you can confirm that by deleting the default folder and watching your app work on 3.0+ but crash on pre-3.0.

Android styling is crazy. Once you start to wrap your head around how it actually resolves certain things it becomes a tiny bit less annoying...
