[Solved] QPalette and SystemPalette

svg_18

Hello,

First of all, I am new to Qt/QML, so sorry if my post is confusing but I'm confused myself. I'll try to be specific.
I have an app that uses C++/QML integration. I want my visual elements to have a consistent look, so I need to use SystemPalette. For example, if I have in qml:

@SystemPalette {id: myPalette; colorGroup: SystemPalette.Active }@

then for some text element I can do:

@Text { id: myText; color: myPalette.text }@

However, the default colors that I get from SystemPalette don't suit my needs.
I read that you can set QPalette colors in the C++ code and then set the custom palette as app palette:

@QPalette customPalette = myApp->palette();
customPalette.setColor(QPalette::WindowText, QColor("red"));
myApp->setPalette(customPalette);@

but this had no effect for me and I don't see what I am missing here.

My question: Is there a way to change the default SystemPalette colors? Or alternatively, how do I use my customPalette from qml?

I haven't tried it but you are using the "WindowText" role on the C++ side and the "Text" role on the qml side. Perhaps you can simply change your C++ code to:
@customPalette.setColor(QPalette::Text, QColor("red"));@

I knew it was something that simple. Thanks for pointing it out!
