+UI with rotation</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>Symbian UI can rotate between the portrait and landscape layout. This section
+describes the guidelines for designing landscape-aware application user interfaces.
+On the whole, the primary guideline in the Symbian platform is that no specific
+UI design is necessary for landscape orientation and mode. Instead, applications
+designed according to the guidelines described in this section should work
+in both landscape orientation and with the default portrait orientation. This
+section does, however, describe some exceptions to this rule.</p>
+<p>The Symbian platform in landscape orientation follows the bottom softkey
+style. In the bottom softkey style, the layout of the normal portrait UI is
+merely stretched horizontally to fit the screen, leaving the softkeys below
+the screen as in standard portrait orientation.</p>
