# Customizing Qt Quick Controls 2

Qt Quick Controls 2 consist of a hierarchy (tree) of items. In order to provide a custom look and feel, the default QML implementation of each item can be replaced with a custom one.

## Customizing a Control

Sometimes you'll want to create a "one-off" look for a specific part of your UI, and use a complete style everywhere else. Perhaps you're happy with the style you're using, but there's a certain button that has some special significance.

The first way to create this button is to simply define it in-place, wherever it is needed. For example, perhaps you're not satisfied with the default style's Button having square corners. To make them rounded, you can override the background item and set the radius property of Rectangle:

      import QtQuick 2.6
      import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

      ApplicationWindow {
          width: 400
          height: 400
          visible: true

          Button {
              id: button
              text: "A Special Button"
              background: Rectangle {
                  implicitWidth: 100
                  implicitHeight: 40
                  color: button.down ? "#d6d6d6" : "#f6f6f6"
                  border.color: "#26282a"
                  border.width: 1
                  radius: 4
              }
          }
      }

The second way to create the button is good if you plan to use your rounded button in several places. It involves moving the code into its own QML file within your project.

For this approach, we'll copy the background code from the default style's `Button.qml`. This file can be found in the following path in your Qt installation:

`$QTDIR/qml/QtQuick/Controls.2/Button.qml`

After doing that, we'll simply add the following line:

      radius: 4

To avoid confusion with the controls in the module itself, we'll call the file `MyButton.qml`. To use the control in your application, refer to it by its filename:

      import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

      ApplicationWindow {
          MyButton {
              text: qsTr("A Special Button")
          }
      }

The third way to create the button is a bit more structured, both in terms of where the file sits in the file system and how it is used in QML. First, copy an existing file as you did above, but this time, put it into a subfolder in your project named (for example) `controls`. To use the control, first import the folder into a namespace:

      import QtQuick.Controls 2.1
      import "controls" as MyControls

      ApplicationWindow {
          MyControls.Button {
              text: qsTr("A Special Button")
          }
      }

As you now have the `MyControls` namespace, you can name the controls after their actual counterparts in the Qt Quick Controls 2 module. You can repeat this process for any control that you wish to add.

An added benefit of these three methods is that it's not necessary to implement the template from scratch.

## Creating a Custom Style

There are several ways to go about creating your own styles. Below, we'll explain the various approaches.

### Definition of a Style

In Qt Quick Controls 2, a style is essentially an interchangeable set of QML files within a single directory. There are three requirements for a style to be usable:

- At least one QML file whose name matches a control (for example, `Button.qml`) must exist.
- Each QML file must contain the relevant type from the QtQuick.Templates import as the root item. For example, Button.qml must contain a Button template as its root item.

  If we instead used the corresponding type from the QtQuick.Controls import as we did in the previous section, it would not work: the control we were defining would try to derive from itself.

- The files must be in a directory in the filesystem or in the resource system.

  For example, these are all valid paths to a style:

  - `./myapp -style /home/absolute/path/to/my/style`
  - `./myapp -style :/mystyle`
  - `./myapp -style relative/path/to/my/style`
  - `./myapp -style MyStyle`

  The third and fourth paths will be looked up within the QML engine's import path list. This is the same as what happens when you pass `Material` as the style, for example.

By default, the styling system uses the Default style as a fallback for controls that aren't implemented. To customize or extend any other built-in style, it is possible to specify a different fallback style using QQuickStyle.

What this means is that you can implement as many controls as you like for your custom style, and place them almost anywhere. It also allows users to create their own styles for your application.

#### Previewing Custom Styles in Qt Quick Designer

Using the approach above, it is possible to preview a custom style in Qt Quick Designer. In order to do so, ensure that the project has a qtquickcontrols2.conf file, and that the following entry exists:

      [Controls]
      Style=MyStyle

For more information, take a look at the Flat Style example.

### Style-specific C++ Extensions

Sometimes you may need to use C++ to extend your custom style. There are two ways to expose such types to QML:

- If the style that uses the type is the only style used by an application, it's enough to register it with the QML engine via qmlRegisterType():

        qmlRegisterType<ACoolCppItem>("MyApp", 1, 0, "ACoolItem");

  See Using C++ Data From QML for more information about this.

- If the style that uses the type is one of many styles used by an application, it may be better to only register it when necessary. This is the point at which it would make sense to implement your own QML plugin.

  Using a plugin as part of your style is not that much different from using a set of QML files. The only difference is that the plugin and its `qmldir` file must be present in the same directory as the QML files.

#### Attached properties

It is common for a style to have certain properties or attributes that apply to all controls. Attached properties are a great way of extending an item in QML without having to modify any existing C++ belonging to that item. For example, both the Material and Universal styles have an attached theme property that controls whether an item and its children will be rendered in a light or dark theme.

As an example, let's add an attached property that controls elevation. Our style will illustrate the elevation with a drop shadow; the higher the elevation, the larger the shadow.

The first step is to create a new Qt Quick Controls 2 application in Qt Creator. After that, we add a C++ type that stores the elevation. Since the type will be used for every control supported by our style, and because we may wish to add other attached properties later on, we'll call it MyStyle. Here is `MyStyle.h`:

      #ifndef MYSTYLE_H
      #define MYSTYLE_H

      #include <QObject>
      #include <QtQml>

      class MyStyle : public QObject
      {
          Q_OBJECT
          Q_PROPERTY(int elevation READ elevation WRITE setElevation NOTIFY elevationChanged)

      public:
          explicit MyStyle(QObject *parent = nullptr);

          static MyStyle *qmlAttachedProperties(QObject *object);

          int elevation() const;
          void setElevation(int elevation);

      signals:
          void elevationChanged();

      private:
          int m_elevation;
      };

      QML_DECLARE_TYPEINFO(MyStyle, QML_HAS_ATTACHED_PROPERTIES)

      #endif // MYSTYLE_H

`MyStyle.cpp`:

      #include "mystyle.h"

      MyStyle::MyStyle(QObject *parent) :
          QObject(parent),
          m_elevation(0)
      {
      }

      MyStyle *MyStyle::qmlAttachedProperties(QObject *object)
      {
          return new MyStyle(object);
      }

      int MyStyle::elevation() const
      {
          return m_elevation;
      }

      void MyStyle::setElevation(int elevation)
      {
          if (elevation == m_elevation)
              return;

          m_elevation = elevation;
          emit elevationChanged();
      }

The `MyStyle` type is special in the sense that it shouldn't be instantiated, but rather used for its attached properties. For that reason, we register it in the following manner in `main.cpp`:

      #include <QGuiApplication>
      #include <QQmlApplicationEngine>

      #include "mystyle.h"

      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);
          QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

          qmlRegisterUncreatableType<MyStyle>("MyStyle", 1, 0, "MyStyle", "MyStyle is an attached property");

          QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
          engine.load(QUrl(QLatin1String("qrc:/main.qml")));

          return app.exec();
      }

We then copy `Button.qml` from the Default style in `$QTDIR/qml/QtQuick/Controls.2/` into a new `myproject` folder in our project directory. Add the newly copied `Button.qml` to `qml.qrc`, which is the resource file that contains our QML files.

Next, we add a drop shadow to the background delegate of the Button:

      // ...
      import QtGraphicalEffects 1.0
      import MyStyle 1.0
      // ...

      background: Rectangle {
          // ...

          layer.enabled: control.enabled && control.MyStyle.elevation > 0
          layer.effect: DropShadow {
              verticalOffset: 1
              color: control.visualFocus ? "#330066ff" : "#aaaaaa"
              samples: control.MyStyle.elevation
              spread: 0.5
          }
      }

Note that we:

- Don't bother using the drop shadow when the elevation is `0`
- Change the shadow's color depending on whether or not the button has focus
- Make the size of the shadow depend on the elevation

To try out the attached property, we create a Row with two Buttons in `main.qml`:

      import QtQuick 2.6
      import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

      import MyStyle 1.0

      ApplicationWindow {
          id: window
          width: 400
          height: 400
          visible: true

          Row {
              spacing: 20
              anchors.centerIn: parent

              Button {
                  text: "Button 1"
              }
              Button {
                  text: "Button 2"
                  MyStyle.elevation: 10
              }
          }
      }

One button has no elevation, and the other has an elevation of `10`.

With that in place, we can run our example. To tell the application to use our new style, we pass `-style :/mystyle` as an application argument, but there are many ways to specify the style to use.

The end result:

Note that the `import MyStyle 1.0` statement is only necessary because we are using the attached property belonging to `MyStyle`. Both buttons will use our custom style, even if we were to remove the import.

## Customization Reference

The following snippets present examples where the default style's controls have been customized using the same approach as the Customizing a Control section. The code can be used as a starting point to implement a custom look and feel.

### Customizing ApplicationWindow

ApplicationWindow consists of one visual item: background. It is also possible to customize the modal and modeless items.

      import QtQuick 2.7
      import QtQuick.Controls 2.0

      ApplicationWindow {
          visible: true

          background: Rectangle {
              gradient: Gradient {
                  GradientStop { position: 0; color: "#ffffff" }
                  GradientStop { position: 1; color: "#c1bbf9" }
              }
          }

          overlay.modal: Rectangle {
              color: "#8f28282a"
          }

          overlay.modeless: Rectangle {
              color: "#2f28282a"
          }
      }

### Customizing BusyIndicator

BusyIndicator consists of two visual items: background and contentItem.

      import QtQuick 2.6
      import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

      BusyIndicator {
          id: control

          contentItem: Item {
              implicitWidth: 64
              implicitHeight: 64

              Item {
                  id: item
                  x: parent.width / 2 - 32
                  y: parent.height / 2 - 32
                  width: 64
                  height: 64
                  opacity: control.running ? 1 : 0

                  Behavior on opacity {
                      OpacityAnimator {
                          duration: 250
                      }
                  }

                  RotationAnimator {
                      target: item
                      running: control.visible && control.running
                      from: 0
                      to: 360
                      loops: Animation.Infinite
                      duration: 1250
                  }

                  Repeater {
                      id: repeater
                      model: 6

                      Rectangle {
                          x: item.width / 2 - width / 2
                          y: item.height / 2 - height / 2
                          implicitWidth: 10
                          implicitHeight: 10
                          radius: 5
                          color: "#21be2b"
                          transform: [
                              Translate {
                                  y: -Math.min(item.width, item.height) * 0.5 + 5
                              },
                              Rotation {
                                  angle: index / repeater.count * 360
                                  origin.x: 5
                                  origin.y: 5
                              }
                          ]
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
      }

### Customizing Button

Button consists of two visual items: background and content item.

      import QtQuick 2.6
      import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

      Button {
          id: control
          text: qsTr("Button")

          contentItem: Text {
              text: control.text
              font: control.font
              opacity: enabled ? 1.0 : 0.3
              color: control.down ? "#17a81a" : "#21be2b"
              horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
              verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
              elide: Text.ElideRight
          }

          background: Rectangle {
              implicitWidth: 100
              implicitHeight: 40
              opacity: enabled ? 1 : 0.3
              border.color: control.down ? "#17a81a" : "#21be2b"
              border.width: 1
              radius: 2
          }
      }

### Customizing CheckBox

CheckBox consists of three visual items: background, contentItem and indicator.

      import QtQuick 2.6
      import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

      CheckBox {
          id: control
          text: qsTr("CheckBox")
          checked: true

          indicator: Rectangle {
              implicitWidth: 26
              implicitHeight: 26
              x: control.leftPadding
              y: parent.height / 2 - height / 2
              radius: 3
              border.color: control.down ? "#17a81a" : "#21be2b"

              Rectangle {
                  width: 14
                  height: 14
                  x: 6
                  y: 6
                  radius: 2
                  color: control.down ? "#17a81a" : "#21be2b"
                  visible: control.checked
              }
          }

          contentItem: Text {
              text: control.text
              font: control.font
              opacity: enabled ? 1.0 : 0.3
              color: control.down ? "#17a81a" : "#21be2b"
              verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
              leftPadding: control.indicator.width + control.spacing
          }
      }

### Customizing CheckDelegate

CheckDelegate consists of three visual items: background, contentItem and indicator.

      import QtQuick 2.6
      import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

      CheckDelegate {
          id: control
          text: qsTr("CheckDelegate")
          checked: true

          contentItem: Text {
              rightPadding: control.indicator.width + control.spacing
              text: control.text
              font: control.font
              opacity: enabled ? 1.0 : 0.3
              color: control.down ? "#17a81a" : "#21be2b"
              elide: Text.ElideRight
              verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
          }

          indicator: Rectangle {
              implicitWidth: 26
              implicitHeight: 26
              x: control.width - width - control.rightPadding
              y: control.topPadding + control.availableHeight / 2 - height / 2
              radius: 3
              color: "transparent"
              border.color: control.down ? "#17a81a" : "#21be2b"

              Rectangle {
                  width: 14
                  height: 14
                  x: 6
                  y: 6
                  radius: 2
                  color: control.down ? "#17a81a" : "#21be2b"
                  visible: control.checked
              }
          }

          background: Rectangle {
              implicitWidth: 100
              implicitHeight: 40
              visible: control.down || control.highlighted
              color: control.down ? "#bdbebf" : "#eeeeee"
          }
      }

### Customizing ComboBox

ComboBox consists of background, content item, popup, indicator, and delegate.

      import QtQuick 2.6
      import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

      ComboBox {
          id: control
          model: ["First", "Second", "Third"]

          delegate: ItemDelegate {
              width: control.width
              contentItem: Text {
                  text: modelData
                  color: "#21be2b"
                  font: control.font
                  elide: Text.ElideRight
                  verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
              }
              highlighted: control.highlightedIndex === index
          }

          indicator: Canvas {
              id: canvas
              x: control.width - width - control.rightPadding
              y: control.topPadding + (control.availableHeight - height) / 2
              width: 12
              height: 8
              contextType: "2d"

              Connections {
                  target: control

          }
      }

### Customizing Tumbler

Tumbler consists of three visual items: background, contentItem, and delegate.

      import QtQuick 2.6
      import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

      Tumbler {
          id: control
          model: 15

          background: Item {
              Rectangle {
                  opacity: control.enabled ? 0.2 : 0.1
                  border.color: "#000000"
                  width: parent.width
                  height: 1
                  anchors.top: parent.top
              }

              Rectangle {
                  opacity: control.enabled ? 0.2 : 0.1
                  border.color: "#000000"
                  width: parent.width
                  height: 1
                  anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
              }
          }

          delegate: Text {
              text: qsTr("Item %1").arg(modelData + 1)
              font: control.font
              horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
              verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
              opacity: 1.0 - Math.abs(Tumbler.displacement) / (control.visibleItemCount / 2)
          }

          Rectangle {
              anchors.horizontalCenter: control.horizontalCenter
              y: control.height * 0.4
              width: 40
              height: 1
              color: "#21be2b"
          }

          Rectangle {
              anchors.horizontalCenter: control.horizontalCenter
              y: control.height * 0.6
              width: 40
              height: 1
              color: "#21be2b"
          }
      }

If you want to define your own contentItem, use either a ListView or PathView as the root item. For a wrapping Tumbler, use PathView:

      Tumbler {
          id: tumbler

          contentItem: PathView {
              id: pathView
              model: tumbler.model
              delegate: tumbler.delegate
              clip: true
              pathItemCount: tumbler.visibleItemCount + 1
              preferredHighlightBegin: 0.5
              preferredHighlightEnd: 0.5
              dragMargin: width / 2

              path: Path {
                  startX: pathView.width / 2
                  startY: -pathView.delegateHeight / 2
                  PathLine {
                      x: pathView.width / 2
                      y: pathView.pathItemCount * pathView.delegateHeight - pathView.delegateHeight / 2
                  }
              }

              property real delegateHeight: tumbler.availableHeight / tumbler.visibleItemCount
          }
      }

For a non-wrapping Tumbler, use ListView:

      Tumbler {
          id: tumbler

          contentItem: ListView {
              model: tumbler.model
              delegate: tumbler.delegate

              snapMode: ListView.SnapToItem
              highlightRangeMode: ListView.StrictlyEnforceRange
              preferredHighlightBegin: height / 2 - (height / tumbler.visibleItemCount / 2)
              preferredHighlightEnd: height / 2 + (height / tumbler.visibleItemCount / 2)
              clip: true
          }
      }
