It allows for a unified experience across platforms and device sizes. \include style-screenshots.qdocinc {file} {Material} {material} To run an application with the Material style, see \l {Using Styles in Qt Quick Controls}. \note The Material style is not a native Android style. The Material style is a 100% cross-platform Qt Quick Controls style implementation that follows the Google Material Design Guidelines. The style runs on any platform, and looks more or less identical everywhere. Minor differences may occur due to differences in available system fonts and font rendering engines. \note As the Material Design Guidelines change over time, this style may change certain padding or font values, for example, in order to maintain consistency with the guidelines. \section2 Customization The Material style supports several customizable attributes. Some of these attributes \l {QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator}{propagate} to children in the same manner as \l {Control::font}{fonts}: \list \li \l {material-theme-attached-prop}{theme} \li \l {material-primary-attached-prop}{primary} \li \l {material-accent-attached-prop}{accent} \li \l {material-foreground-attached-prop}{foreground} \li \l {material-background-attached-prop}{background} \endlist \image qtquickcontrols-material-attributes.png The remaining attributes do not propagate to children: \list \li \l {material-elevation-attached-prop}{elevation} \li \l {material-roundedScale-attached-prop}{roundedScale} \li \l {material-containerStyle-attached-prop}{containerStyle} \endlist In the following example, the window and all three radio buttons appear in the dark theme using a purple accent color: \table \row \li \qml import QtQuick import QtQuick.Controls import QtQuick.Controls.Material ApplicationWindow { visible: true Material.theme: Material.Dark Material.accent: Material.Purple Column { anchors.centerIn: parent RadioButton { text: qsTr("Small") } RadioButton { text: qsTr("Medium") checked: true } RadioButton { text: qsTr("Large") } } } \endqml \li \image qtquickcontrols-material-purple.png \endtable In addition to specifying the attributes in QML, it is also possible to specify some of them via environment variables or in a configuration file. Attributes specified in QML take precedence over all other methods. \section3 Configuration File \include qquickmaterialstyle.qdocinc conf See \l {Qt Quick Controls Configuration File} for more details about the configuration file. \section3 Environment Variables \include qquickmaterialstyle.qdocinc env See \l {Supported Environment Variables in Qt Quick Controls} for the full list of supported environment variables. \section2 Dependency The Material style must be separately imported to gain access to the attributes that are specific to the Material style. It should be noted that regardless of the references to the Material style, the same application code runs with any other style. Material-specific attributes only have an effect when the application is run with the Material style. If the Material style is imported in a QML file that is always loaded, the Material style must be deployed with the application in order to be able to run the application regardless of which style the application is run with. By using \l {Using File Selectors with Qt Quick Controls}{file selectors}, style-specific tweaks can be applied without creating a hard dependency to a style. \section2 Pre-defined Material Colors Even though primary and accent can be any \l {colorvaluetypedocs}{color}, it is recommended to use one of the pre-defined colors that have been designed to work well with the rest of the Material style palette: Available pre-defined colors: \value Material.Red \stylecolor {#F44336} {} \value Material.Pink \stylecolor {#E91E63} {(default accent)} \value Material.Purple \stylecolor {#9C27B0} {} \value Material.DeepPurple \stylecolor {#673AB7} {} \value Material.Indigo \stylecolor {#3F51B5} {(default primary)} \value Material.Blue \stylecolor {#2196F3} {} \value Material.LightBlue \stylecolor {#03A9F4} {} \value Material.Cyan \stylecolor {#00BCD4} {} \value Material.Teal \stylecolor {#009688} {} \value Material.Green \stylecolor {#4CAF50} {} \value Material.LightGreen \stylecolor {#8BC34A} {} \value Material.Lime \stylecolor {#CDDC39} {} \value Material.Yellow \stylecolor {#FFEB3B} {} \value Material.Amber \stylecolor {#FFC107} {} \value Material.Orange \stylecolor {#FF9800} {} \value Material.DeepOrange \stylecolor {#FF5722} {} \value Material.Brown \stylecolor {#795548} {} \value Material.Grey \stylecolor {#9E9E9E} {} \value Material.BlueGrey \stylecolor {#607D8B} {} When the dark theme is in use, different \l {Pre-defined Shades}{shades} of the pre-defined colors are used by default: \value Material.Red \stylecolor {#EF9A9A} {} \value Material.Pink \stylecolor {#F48FB1} {(default accent)} \value Material.Purple \stylecolor {#CE93D8} {} \value Material.DeepPurple \stylecolor {#B39DDB} {} \value Material.Indigo \stylecolor {#9FA8DA} {(default primary)} \value Material.Blue \stylecolor {#90CAF9} {} \value Material.LightBlue \stylecolor {#81D4FA} {} \value Material.Cyan \stylecolor {#80DEEA} {} \value Material.Teal \stylecolor {#80CBC4} {} \value Material.Green \stylecolor {#A5D6A7} {} \value Material.LightGreen \stylecolor {#C5E1A5} {} \value Material.Lime \stylecolor {#E6EE9C} {} \value Material.Yellow \stylecolor {#FFF59D} {} \value Material.Amber \stylecolor {#FFE082} {} \value Material.Orange \stylecolor {#FFCC80} {} \value Material.DeepOrange \stylecolor {#FFAB91} {} \value Material.Brown \stylecolor {#BCAAA4} {} \value Material.Grey \stylecolor {#EEEEEE} {} \value Material.BlueGrey \stylecolor {#B0BEC5} {} \section2 Pre-defined Shades There are several different \l {https://material.google.com/style/color.html#color-color-palette}{shades} of each \l {Pre-defined Material Colors}{pre-defined color} that can be passed to the \l {material-color-attached-method}{Material.color()} function: \value Material.Shade50 \value Material.Shade100 \value Material.Shade200 \value Material.Shade300 \value Material.Shade400 \value Material.Shade500 \value Material.Shade600 \value Material.Shade700 \value Material.Shade800 \value Material.Shade900 \value Material.ShadeA100 \value Material.ShadeA200 \value Material.ShadeA400 \value Material.ShadeA700 \b {See also} \l {Basic Style}, \l {Universal Style} \section2 Variants The Material style also supports a dense variant, where controls like buttons and delegates are smaller in height and use smaller font sizes. It is recommended to use the dense variant on desktop platforms, where a mouse and keyboard allow more precise and flexible user interaction. To use the dense variant, either set the \c QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_MATERIAL_VARIANT environment variable to \c Dense, or specify \c Variant=Dense in the \l {Qt Quick Controls Configuration File}{qtquickcontrols2.conf} file. The default value in both cases is \c Normal. The following images illustrate the differences between some of the controls when using the normal and dense variants: \table \row \li \image qtquickcontrols-material-variant-normal.png \li \image qtquickcontrols-material-variant-dense.png \endtable Note that the heights shown above may vary based on differences in fonts across platforms. \section2 Control-Specific Notes \target material-control-specific-notes-textarea \section3 TextArea TextArea supports two \l {material-containerStyle-attached-prop}{containerStyles}: \c Filled and \c Outlined. Outlined TextAreas have floating placeholder text that sits at the top of the control. This requires the placeholder text to go outside the bounds of the control, which can cause it to be clipped when the TextArea or the Flickable it's a child of sets \l {Item::}{clip} to \c true. To avoid this, \l {Control::}{topInset} is set to an appropriate value in these cases. \include qquickmaterialstyle.qdocinc placeholder-text-multiple-lines \section3 TextField The same \l {material-control-specific-notes-textarea}{issue with clipping} explained above for TextArea can also occur with \l TextField. To avoid this, \l {Control::}{topInset} is set to an appropriate value when the TextField sets clip to \c true. \include qquickmaterialstyle.qdocinc placeholder-text-multiple-lines \section1 Attached Property Documentation \styleproperty {Material.accent} {color} {material-accent-attached-prop} \target material-accent-attached-prop This attached property holds the accent color of the theme. The property can be attached to any window or item. The value is propagated to children. The default value is \c Material.Pink. In the following example, the accent color of the highlighted button is changed to \c Material.Orange: \table \row \li \snippet qtquickcontrols-material-accent.qml 1 \li \image qtquickcontrols-material-accent.png \endtable \note Even though the accent can be any \l {colorvaluetypedocs}{color}, it is recommended to use one of the \l {pre-defined Material colors} that have been designed to work well with the rest of the Material style palette. \endstyleproperty \styleproperty {Material.background} {color} {material-background-attached-prop} \target material-background-attached-prop This attached property holds the background color of the theme. The property can be attached to any window or item. The value is propagated to children. The default value is theme-specific (light or dark). In the following example, the background color of the button is changed to \c Material.Teal: \table \row \li \snippet qtquickcontrols-material-background.qml 1 \li \image qtquickcontrols-material-background.png \endtable \endstyleproperty \styleproperty {Material.elevation} {int} {material-elevation-attached-prop} \target material-elevation-attached-prop This attached property holds the elevation of the control. The higher the elevation, the deeper the shadow. The property can be attached to any control, but not all controls visualize elevation. The value is not propagated to children. The default value is control-specific. In the following example, the elevation of the pane is set to \c 6 in order to achieve the look of an \l {https://m3.material.io/components/cards/overview}{elevated card}: \table \row \li \snippet qtquickcontrols-material-elevation.qml 1 \li \image qtquickcontrols-material-elevation.png \endtable \endstyleproperty \styleproperty {Material.foreground} {color} {material-foreground-attached-prop} \target material-foreground-attached-prop This attached property holds the foreground color of the theme. The property can be attached to any window or item. The value is propagated to children. The default value is theme-specific (light or dark). In the following example, the foreground color of the button is set to \c Material.Pink: \table \row \li \snippet qtquickcontrols-material-foreground.qml 1 \li \image qtquickcontrols-material-foreground.png \endtable \endstyleproperty \styleproperty {Material.primary} {color} {material-primary-attached-prop} \target material-primary-attached-prop This attached property holds the primary color of the theme. The property can be attached to any window or item. The value is propagated to children. The primary color is used as the background color of ToolBar by default. The default value is \c Material.Indigo. \note Even though the primary can be any \l {colorvaluetypedocs}{color}, it is recommended to use one of the \l {pre-defined Material colors} that have been designed to work well with the rest of the Material style palette. \endstyleproperty \styleproperty {Material.theme} {enumeration} {material-theme-attached-prop} \target material-theme-attached-prop This attached property holds whether the theme is light or dark. The property can be attached to any window or item. The value is propagated to children. Available themes: \value Material.Light Light theme (default) \value Material.Dark Dark theme \value Material.System System theme Setting the theme to \c System chooses either the light or dark theme based on the system theme colors. However, when reading the value of the theme property, the value is never \c System, but the actual theme. In the following example, the theme for both the pane and the button is set to \c Material.Dark: \table \row \li \snippet qtquickcontrols-material-theme.qml 1 \li \image qtquickcontrols-material-theme.png \endtable \endstyleproperty \styleproperty {Material.roundedScale} {enumeration} {material-roundedScale-attached-prop} \target material-roundedScale-attached-prop This attached property holds the radius of rounded corners used on the target control. The property can be attached to any window or item, but only some controls support it. The value is not propagated to children. The default value is control-specific. Available scales: \value Material.NotRounded Square corners \value Material.ExtraSmallScale Extra small rounded corners \value Material.SmallScale Small rounded corners \value Material.MediumScale Medium rounded corners \value Material.LargeScale Large rounded corners \value Material.ExtraLargeScale Extra large rounded corners \value Material.FullScale Fully rounded corners This property was added in Qt 6.5. See also: \l {Material Style: Shape}. \endstyleproperty \styleproperty {Material.containerStyle} {enumeration} {material-containerStyle-attached-prop} \target material-containerStyle-attached-prop This attached property holds the style of the container used by the target control. The property can be attached to any window or item, but only TextField and TextArea support it by default. The value is not propagated to children. The default value is control-specific. Available styles: \value Material.Filled Use the filled container variant if available \value Material.Outlined Use the outlined container variant if available This property was added in Qt 6.5. See also: \l {Material Style: Text Field Containers}. \endstyleproperty \section1 Attached Method Documentation \stylemethod2 {color} {color} {enumeration} {predefined} {enumeration} {shade} {material-color-attached-method} \target material-color-attached-method This attached method returns the effective color value of the specified \l {pre-defined Material colors}{pre-defined Material color} combined with the given \l {pre-defined shades}{shade}. If omitted, the shade argument defaults to \c Material.Shade500. \qml Rectangle { color: Material.color(Material.Red) } \endqml \endstylemethod2 \section1 Related Information \list \li \l{Styling Qt Quick Controls} \endlist */
