The configuration file can specify the preferred style and certain style-specific attributes. The following example specifies that the preferred style is the \l {Material style}. Furthermore, when the application is run with the Material style, its theme is light and the accent and primary colors are teal and blue grey, respectively. However, if the application is run with the \l {Universal style} instead, the accent color is red and the appropriate theme is chosen based on the system theme colors. \code [Controls] Style=Material [Universal] Theme=System Accent=Red [Material] Theme=Light Accent=Teal Primary=BlueGrey \endcode It is possible to specify a custom location for the configuration file with the \l {Supported Environment Variables in Qt Quick Controls} {QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_CONF} environment variable. \section1 Controls Section The following values can be specified in a \c Controls section of the configuration file: \table \header \li Variable \li Description \row \li \c Style \li Specifies the style to run the application with. The value can be the name of one of the \l {Available Styles}{built-in styles} or a \l {Creating a Custom Style}{custom style}. \row \li \c FallbackStyle \li Specifies the style to use for controls that are not implemented. The style must be one of the \l {Available Styles}{built-in styles}. By default, the \l {Basic Style}{Basic} style is used. \endtable \section1 Imagine Section The following table lists values that can be used to configure the \l {Imagine style} in an \c Imagine section of the configuration file: \include qquickimaginestyle.qdocinc conf \section1 Material Section The following table lists values that can be used to configure the \l {Material style} in a \c Material section of the configuration file: \include qquickmaterialstyle.qdocinc conf \section1 Universal Section The following table lists values that can be used to configure the \l {Universal style} in a \c Universal section of the configuration file: \include qquickuniversalstyle.qdocinc conf \section1 Font Configuration The default \l {Control::font}{font} can be specified in a \c Font sub-group in each style's section in the configuration file: \code [Basic] Font\Family=Open Sans Font\PixelSize=20 \endcode Supported font attributes: \table \header \li Variable \li Description \row \li \c Family \li The \l {QFont::family}{font family}. \row \li \c PointSize \li The \l {QFont::pointSizeF}{point size}. \row \li \c PixelSize \li The \l {QFont::pixelSize}{pixel size}. \row \li \c StyleHint \li The \l {QFont::styleHint}{style hint}. Available values: \c SansSerif, \c Helvetica, \c Serif, \c Times, \c TypeWriter, \c Courier, \c OldEnglish, \c Decorative, \c Monospace, \c Fantasy, \c Cursive. \row \li \c Weight \li The \l {QFont::}{weight}. Qt uses a weighting scale from \c 1 to \c 1000 compatible with OpenType. A weight of \c 1 will be thin, whilst \c 1000 will be extremely black. Available pre-defined weights: \c Thin (100), \c ExtraLight (200), \c Light (300), \c Normal (400), \c Medium (500), \c DemiBold (600), \c Bold (700), \c ExtraBold (800), \c Black (900). \row \li \c Style \li The \l {QFont::}{style}. Available values: \c StyleNormal, \c StyleItalic, \c StyleOblique. \endtable \section1 Palette Configuration The default \c palette can be configured for each style using the \c Palette sub-group in the configuration file. The \c Palette sub-group can be defined in two alternative ways: \code [Fusion] Palette\Window=#dedede Palette\WindowText=#212121 \endcode See \l [QtQuick]{Palette} QML type for more information. \section1 Using the Configuration File in a Project In order to make it possible for Qt Quick Controls to find the configuration file, it must be built into application's resources using the \l {The Qt Resource System}. Here's an example \c .qrc file: \code qtquickcontrols2.conf \endcode \note Qt Quick Controls uses a file selector to load the configuration file. It is possible to provide a different configuration file for different platforms and locales. See \l QFileSelector documentation for more details. Finally, the \c .qrc file must be listed in the application's build file. For example: \if defined(onlinedocs) \tab {build-qt-app}{tab-cmake}{CMakeLists.txt (CMake)}{checked} \tab {build-qt-app}{tab-qmake}{.pro (qmake)}{} \tabcontent {tab-cmake} \else \section2 Using CMake \endif \badcode set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON) qt_add_executable(my_app application.qrc main.cpp ... ) \endcode \if defined(onlinedocs) \endtabcontent \tabcontent {tab-qmake} \else \section2 Using qmake \endif \badcode RESOURCES = application.qrc ... \endcode \if defined(onlinedocs) \endtabcontent \endif See also: \l {Build System Integration} \section1 Related Information \list \li \l{Styling Qt Quick Controls} \li \l{Supported Environment Variables in Qt Quick Controls} \endlist */
