  In case it isn't already too late to voice this:
  
  In my very humble but very serious opinion the desktop version should remain traditionally widget based, not be moved to QML/Quick. Phone UIs can work great ... on phones and tablets (but have been taking serious hits in the post-iOS-7.0 era).
  
  > how we could improve the Kontact UI to look more modern and slick.
  
  You shouldn't. These are aspects that should remain a function of the local user's taste and choice of theming.
  
  One good reason that probably gets overlooked by many: QML/Quick use different font rendering paths which for me means text mostly looks like sh*** compared to the Freetype/Infinality quality rendering I get just about everywhere else (which to my eyes looks better than text displays on my Mac and MSWin systems).
  
  Users who prefer a phone-UI interface already can use Kube.
