    Hi,
    I'm new to Maemo and Qt World in general.
    I'm trying QtCreator from the QT Nokia Sdk on linux and I REALLY like it!
    Finally a very comfortable integrated enviroment for development under linux.
    Thanks you for all this tool.
    I'm trying to port a desktop application that I made for me, from Desktop to Nokia N900.
    When I run on my N900 some UI of my program are like this (a dialog in the example):

    "Screenshots":http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/zAfjr7hUOJRvoTauNitNfrLRGugluBGl-5QeGPKDbv4?feat=directlink

    I suppose that I have to change something, because everything is so much compressed and I would like to reduce the size of some component

    My question are:
    1 where can I find some guidelines to develop a good UI for N900 with QT (and maybe for symbian Os) ?.
    2 Should I have to change a Top Level Layout in my windows to something different like Horizontal Layout or Vertical Layout instead of use fixed position and dimension?
    3 How many object can I put in horizontal and vertical?

    Looking at the image:
    4 Is it possible to reduce the space between elements inside the list?
    5 It is a http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/qdateedit.html QDateEdit object ... but it seems compressed... is it displaying correctly?

    Thanks you for any advice.

      Hi dega1999, welcome! :-)

      The UI guidelines for Maemo 5 and other information for developers are available in this "wiki page":http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide . AFAIK the guidelines are the independent from the toolkit you use.

      About Qt on Maemo 5, there are some special considerations and also an additional module (QtMaemo5). "Information here":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qt-maemo-4.7/index.html. In this docs you'll find examples of how to do UI according to the Maemo guidelines, deployment, etc.

          Although not completely relevant, but you can still refer to "this":http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/97e9b8e0-904c-4141-bb8a-91d4f519735f/Maemo_5_Desktop_Widget_UI_Guidelines.html document on desktop widget UI guidelines for Maemo.
