This seems like a tricky question to me. From a high level, I think I'd approach it as: (1) Figure out what I want my UI to look like in portrait, and what I want it to look like in landscape (might be very similar or wildly different; might be specific to my app or following some platform guidelines) (2) Choose the best mechanism in QML to support (1) (might be using Qt Components; might be completely different QML files for each orientation; might be careful use of anchors and positioners) It would certainly be nice to have an overview of the common approaches (maybe a wiki page on developer.qt.nokia.com?) to (2); I don't think we have anything like that yet.
