Harmattan didn't implement this sadly, so QWidget based apps look/behave bad on it, so you're stuck with rewriting your Qt apps again for Harmattan.
Instead of writing a theme engine for Harmattan, Nokia embraced QML, which is not that mature imo. MTF is good but involves rewriting the app, and it's only compatible with MeeGo then. QML is good but you have to do everything from scratch (components are just examples prepared in a package in my opinion).
I was believing that QT apps could be like "Java Apps" - Write once, run anywhere. I think that Nokia Lumia can be a success here in Brazil because the Nokia is the most remembered cellphone producer and here in "Nokia Store" in Northeast of Brazil, a lot of XBox 360 were sold together with Nokia Lumia 900 for first amounts of this cellphone.
