Thank you for your suggestion, Jean-Michaël, it might be - or might've been -
useful. But I'm afraid your very suggestion contains the problems which would
arise if we don't get official support. A little dependence on KDE, a little
tweaking of fonts - 20 more a littles and all hell breaks loose. So this is not
an issue any 3rd party can properly solve, we need native styles in Qt Quick
Controls 2 itself.
