That's actually the best way to go about learning the framework and how to customize it for your projects. Good luck with your investigations!

Why do the example init the theme before displaying the screen? Can't the roAppManager be set before creating the screen?

I am centralizing all my themes to one initTheme function in the appMain file. I am not using them for each screen. Is this a bad idea?

I've read your post several times now, and can't quite figure out what you're asking. All three of your questions seem to contradict one another. You have to initialize your theme before displaying a screen, otherwise it won't have the theme applied to it. And generally speaking, your theme should be centralized. There are very few situations where you'd want different themes for different screens.

In the examples in the SDK, they have the initializing of the screen in a separate function. I was wondering, beside organizing code, if there is an advantage to that.

Not really. It just makes it easier to manage.
