[Development] AplicationWindow, QQuickWindow, contentRotation and setting width and height of contentItem

[Bubke Marco]

What about making ApplicationWindow a Item? We could skip the contentItem and there would be designer support.

You should also be able to work around it inside your
ApplicationWindow by hiding the parent property on your content item.
Something like "property Item parent: null" should make it look like
the root of the tree. It's not great, but you actually want to pretend
to be the root of the tree (it's not just a ModalPopupBehavior hack).

Right it solves more issues, but modals are most common. Unfortunately i will not work. When I declared such property I got:
Cannot override FINAL property

The other workaround that comes to mind is to define your
ApplicationWindow in C++ by subclassing QQuickWindow.h and
implementing your own contentItem which does include the rotation
behavior.

I very would like to use ApplicationWindow from QtQuick.Controls module so I would rather not to do that.

Would either approach be sufficient for your needs?

Because of above, either ApplicationWindow will be moved to C++ or another solution will be found or idea of reusing ApplicationWindow dropped.
Didn't you consider such case that certain Item could be declared as quasi root of the tree?
Jens correct me if I am wrong but it can be necessary when support of ApplicationWindow styling will be added.
