Symbian also has no controls to close full screen windows. To cope with this the customwindow.cpp contains some magic to implement a custom window title with icon and a "back" arrow in the top right corner.

Symbian doesn't support finger/touch scrolling by itself. This is implemented in flickcharm.cpp (inspired by but not identical to a similar solution from nokia). Just enable the flickcharm section in the pro file and finger scrolling should be possible in most lists

Thank you for your suggestions. I will have a look into that.

As you might have seen, I am hiding the parent windows when opening another child window. This is to prevent multiple windows shown in the task manager. Sadly I was not able to hide the main window, because after I made it visible again it was just white. It might need an explicit redrawing, but I haven't digged into this yet.
Also, showing a child window and then hiding its parent window seems to need quite some time. Because of that always for a moment no window is shown. I would like to improve this, but haven't figured out yet how.

I thought its useful if you can see the status informations (network connection, GPS status and notifications. Maybe I can hide the menu bar which actually is emtpy and a real space waster.

Ah, now I also understand what Kung Foo actually wanted to say

BTW:
It was quite easy to get it into OVI store. They only criticised that it is not a game but a map application.
