# Customizing Qt Quick Controls

Qt Quick Controls 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 2.15
     import QtQuick.Controls 2.15

     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 2.15

     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 2.15
     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 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, 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.

#### Considerations for custom styles

When implementing your own style and customizing controls, there are some points to keep in mind to ensure that your application is as performant as possible.

##### Avoid assigning an id to styles' implementations of item delegates

As explained in Definition of a Style, when you implement your own style for a control, you start off with the relevant template for that control. For example, a style's `Button.qml` will be structured similarly to this:

     T.Button {
         // ...

         background: Rectangle {
             // ...
         }

         contentItem: Text {
             // ...
         }

         // ...
     }

When you use a Button in your application, the `background` and `contentItem` items will be created and parented to the root `Button` item:

     // Creates the Button root item, the Rectangle background,
     // and the Text contentItem.
     Button {
         text: qsTr("Confirm")
     }

Suppose you then needed to do a one-off customization of the Button (as explained in Customizing a Control):

     import QtQuick 2.15
     import QtQuick.Controls 2.15

     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
             }
         }
     }

In QML, this would normally result in both the default `background` implementation and the one-off, custom `background` items being created. Qt Quick Controls uses a technique that avoids creating both items, and instead only creates the custom `background`, greatly improving the creation performance of controls.

This technique relies on the absence of an id in the style's implementation of that item. If an id is assigned, the technique cannot work, and both items will be created. For example, it can be tempting to assign an id to the `background` or `contentItem` so that other objects within the file can refer to those items:

     T.Button {
         // ...

         background: Rectangle {
             id: backgroundRect
             // ...
         }

         contentItem: Text {
             // Use backgroundRect in some way...
         }

         // ...
     }

With this code, every time a Button instance with a customized background is created, both backgrounds will be created, resulting in sub-optimal creation performance.

Prior to Qt 5.15, the old, unused background would be deleted to release the resources associated with it. However, as the control does not own the items, it should not delete them. As of Qt 5.15, old items are no longer deleted, and so the `backgroundRect` item will live longer than it needs to—typically until the application exits. Although the old item will be hidden, visually unparented from the control, and removed from the accessibility tree, it is important to keep the creation time and memory usage of these unused items in mind when assigning an id in this context.

##### Avoid imperative assignments of custom items

The technique mentioned in the section above only works when an item is declaratively assigned for the first time, and so imperative assignments will result in orphaned items. Always use declarative bindings to assign custom items when possible.

#### 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 1.15
     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 2.15
     import QtQuick.Controls 2.15

     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 2.15
     import QtQuick.Controls 2.15

     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 2.12
     import QtQuick.Controls 2.12

     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 2.12
     import QtQuick.Controls 2.12

     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 2.12
     import QtQuick.Controls 2.12

     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 2.12
     import QtQuick.Controls 2.12

     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

         text: qsTr("A descriptive tool tip of what the button does")

         contentItem: Text {
             text: control.text
             font: control.font
             color: "#21be2b"
         }

         background: Rectangle {
             border.color: "#21be2b"
         }
     }

### Customizing Tumbler

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

     import QtQuick 2.12
     import QtQuick.Controls 2.12

     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
         }
     }
