Styles not behaving as expected.

[mzimmers]

Hi all -

I've been wrestling with styles in my app, and have found some issues when running on Windows. Here's the code that sets the style:

    QString l_styleName = (platform == "android")
                              ? "Material"
                              : (platform == "windows")
                                    ? "Windows"
                                    : "Fusion";
    QQuickStyle::setStyle(l_styleName);

What I've found through experimentation is:

• Universal style doesn't seem to use the palette.buttonText setting for changing the color of text within Buttons
• Basic and Fusion ignore the accent color setting when used like this:

ApplicationWindow {
    id: mainWindow

    readonly property string degreeSymbol: String.fromCodePoint(0xb0)
    readonly property string bullet: String.fromCodePoint(0x2022)
    readonly property real margin: width / 32.0
    readonly property real gutter: width / 64.0

    property alias auxTabIndex: auxTabBar.currentIndex

    Component.onCompleted: {
        if (styleName === "Material") {
            Material.accent = Colors.background
        } else if (styleName === "Fusion") {
            Fusion.accent = Colors.background//Colors.primaryPurple
        } else if (styleName === "Basic") {
            Basic.accent = Colors.primaryPurple
        } else if (styleName === "Universal") {
            Universal.accent = Colors.background//Colors.primaryPurple
        } else if (styleName === "Windows") {
            Windows.accent = Colors.background//Colors.primaryPurple
        }
    }

Moreover, when I set the style to "Windows," I get an error: "ReferenceError: Windows is not defined."

It's hard to believe these are bugs in the style definitions, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks...

[Universal]
Accent=#ff0000
Theme=System

It accepts hex color

But With the theme "Default" I don't see any changes

Hi I have created a class in C++, So I used Material.accent = AppStyle.background

[mzimmers]

@piervalli it doesn't seem to matter what value I put in that line; it's just ignored. With Universal as my style, I get a red underbar as my accent.

Have you tried with qtquickcontrols2.conf?

[mzimmers]

@piervalli I've never used that before; just tried it now. I created the file with this in it:

[Controls]
Style=Universal

[Universal]
Theme=Light
Accent=Universal.Indigo

And added the file to my qml.qrc. I didn't add an entry to my CMakeLists.txt file, but I'm not sure I need to, as the file appears to get loaded. I say this because I'm getting the following error:

Universal: unknown accent value: Universal.Indigo

A couple questions:

1. is there something I need to do to use the Universal colors, to get rid of this error message?
2. can I specify 'transparent" as my accent color?

Thanks...
