This patch introduces a new styling API for Controls called
StyleKit. StyleKit provides a higher-level, key–value–based
approach to styling applications, serving as an alternative
to working directly with the lower-level Templates API.
The primary goal of StyleKit is to offer a unified API for
styling both Controls and Widgets. The current Templates-based
approach relies heavily on JavaScript, which makes it unsuitable
for use with Widgets. This initial version supports Controls
only; support for Widgets will be added in a future update.
StyleKit is designed to make it easier for designers and UI
developers to:
- Focus on visual styling rather than Template logic (such as
geometry, delegate positioning, and handle placement).
- Allow style properties to propagate, enabling you to factor
out common styling into shared control types and override only
what differs in the more specific control types.
- Style controls independently in each of their states, without
needing nested ternary expressions to check state.
- Define and apply multiple themes with minimal effort.
- Provide different style variations depending on context.
For example, styling a Switch differently when it appears
inside a ToolBar.
[ChangeLog][Qt labs] Introduced new QML module 'StyleKit'.
StyleKit provides a flexible styling framework for Qt Quick
Controls, enabling developers to define reusable styles and
themes using a simple key-value property format.
