What about Flow?
Are there features missing for you?

@Lorenz
Flow is not applicable for items with different height:

@morte
i am currently working on an QML extension plugin (for Android) which includes such layout.
But there is much work left before i can release it.

Jagh

Do any of the Layouts in QML actively change size of the child Items? Because I think this is a necessary functionality you'll need to implement Metro-style layout, and i'm not sure Qml layouts have this possibility(as far as i know Layouts in QML are merely responsible for the positions of the items, not the size)

I have posted suggestion about adding such positioner to QtQuick:
