Hi.
I'm porting a QML 5.5 tablet+desktop app to the new Qt 5.6 Labs
Controls. I have some feedback and a few questions.
1. Great job on the simple "2 axis" (theme, accent) customization for
the Material/Universal styles, it provides a nice starting point :)
And great job on sprucing up Material with helpful animations.
2. The [DOC] states that "all visual implementations sit in the imports
folder, so that users who want to create their own complete style can
copy the folder and start tweaking". And as further exemplified by
Gabriel's QtWS15's [TALK], tweaking e.g. `Button` means providing
your own `label` & `background` items.
-> That sounds nice for users wanting total control over the complete
style. But suppose instead I'm mostly happy with Material and
only want to *override some attributes*, much like I would do
with CSS in a webapp, and as opposed to wholly defining control
sub-items {label, background, ...}.
Is there a way to do that? Following the documentation sentence
quoted above, I'd just copy the whole `material` folder and start
tweaking, but then I'd have to merge my tweaks with upstream
changes brought by each Qt release.
Correct? Is this the workflow you have in mind?
3. With upcoming desktop support in mind, would it be interesting to
add a third customization axis (alongside theme & accent) called
"density" that would adjust paddings like the [GMAIL] feature does?
For tablet+desktop apps where exact platform style conformance is not
a goal and thus where a common UX / controls set is acceptable, it
could provide widget size "responsiveness" to fit the platform
expected input precision. That's what I was thinking to implement
when I stumbled upon my question 2.
Does it make sense / has such a feature already been discussed?
Thanks :)
