Dynamically change QML theme at runtime

Gregoire Borel

I'm actually using the solution provided here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/25864815/2425044

I'd like to get rid of the import "MyTheme.js" as Theme; statement in order to dynamically load a specific theme at runtime (usually chosen by the user).

What I'm currently doing is loading each of my Themes.js files in a qrc file:

redTheme.qrc contains Theme.js
blueTheme.qrc contains Theme.js

These qrc files are compiled into external binary resources (rcc) and loaded from the binary directory, using

registerResource(const QString &rccFileName, const QString &mapRoot = QString())

So far, everything works. The only problem is that I'm stuck with an import statement in my QML files:

import "qrc:/redTheme/Theme.js" as Theme

Thus, despite registering blueTheme.rcc as a resource, it will never be used.
