RH 2019: Upgrading a RHTML5 project with screen layout to new UI with skin

I am maintaining several help projects created with older versions of RH where the RHTML5 laoyout was configured using a screen layout. I can continue to maintain these projects with RH 2019 classic, but if I try to upgrade them to RH 2019 with new UI, the screen layout is converted to a skin which obviously looks completely different than the old layout.

 

What is the recommended upgrade path in such cases? I would like to be able to use the new UI, as that is what will be maintained in the future, but how do I get there?

 

I have tried searching for information, but I wasn't able to find any, but I hope my situation is not unique.

    The output is Responsive HTML5, and the layout is a custom layout that was created before I started working with these projects.

     

    I understand that the old screen layouts had other properties than the newer skins, and that there is no one-to-one relationship when upgrading. Maybe the best solution would be to create a completely new skin based on the old screen layout and apply that.

    Which output and layout are you using?

     

    If it's a multiscreen HTML5 output, then I'm afraid you're out of luck and will need to customise a skin in the New UI version.

     

    If a responsive HTML5 layout, I had thought those skins transferred better, but I haven't tested it myself, so perhaps someone else can comment.
