The Universal style has been designed to look good on all devices, from phones and tablets to PCs. \include style-screenshots.qdocinc {file} {Universal} {universal} To run an application with the Universal style, see \l {Using Styles in Qt Quick Controls}. \note The Universal style is not a native Windows 10 style. The Universal style is a 100% cross-platform Qt Quick Controls style implementation that follows the Microsoft Universal 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. \section2 Customization The Universal style allows customizing four attributes, \l {universal-theme-attached-prop}{theme}, \l {universal-accent-attached-prop}{accent}, \l {universal-foreground-attached-prop}{foreground}, and \l {universal-background-attached-prop}{background}. \image qtquickcontrols-universal-attributes.png Both attributes can be specified for any window or item, and they automatically propagate to children in the same manner as \l {Control::font}{fonts}. In the following example, the window and all three radio buttons appear in the dark theme using a violet accent color: \table \row \li \qml import QtQuick 2.12 import QtQuick.Controls 2.12 import QtQuick.Controls.Universal 2.12 ApplicationWindow { visible: true Universal.theme: Universal.Dark Universal.accent: Universal.Violet Column { anchors.centerIn: parent RadioButton { text: qsTr("Small") } RadioButton { text: qsTr("Medium"); checked: true } RadioButton { text: qsTr("Large") } } } \endqml \li \image qtquickcontrols-universal-violet.png \endtable In addition to specifying the attributes in QML, it is also possible to specify them via environment variables or in a configuration file. Attributes specified in QML take precedence over all other methods. \section3 Configuration File \include qquickuniversalstyle.qdocinc conf See \l {Qt Quick Controls Configuration File} for more details about the configuration file. \section3 Environment Variables \include qquickuniversalstyle.qdocinc env See \l {Supported Environment Variables in Qt Quick Controls} for the full list of supported environment variables. \section2 Dependency The Universal style must be separately imported to gain access to the attributes that are specific to the Universal style. It should be noted that regardless of the references to the Universal style, the same application code runs with any other style. Universal-specific attributes only have an effect when the application is run with the Universal style. If the Universal style is imported in a QML file that is always loaded, the Universal 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 Universal Colors Available pre-defined colors: \value Universal.Lime \stylecolor {#A4C400} {} \value Universal.Green \stylecolor {#60A917} {} \value Universal.Emerald \stylecolor {#008A00} {} \value Universal.Teal \stylecolor {#00ABA9} {} \value Universal.Cyan \stylecolor {#1BA1E2} {} \value Universal.Cobalt \stylecolor {#3E65FF} {(default accent)} \value Universal.Indigo \stylecolor {#6A00FF} {} \value Universal.Violet \stylecolor {#AA00FF} {} \value Universal.Pink \stylecolor {#F472D0} {} \value Universal.Magenta \stylecolor {#D80073} {} \value Universal.Crimson \stylecolor {#A20025} {} \value Universal.Red \stylecolor {#E51400} {} \value Universal.Orange \stylecolor {#FA6800} {} \value Universal.Amber \stylecolor {#F0A30A} {} \value Universal.Yellow \stylecolor {#E3C800} {} \value Universal.Brown \stylecolor {#825A2C} {} \value Universal.Olive \stylecolor {#6D8764} {} \value Universal.Steel \stylecolor {#647687} {} \value Universal.Mauve \stylecolor {#76608A} {} \value Universal.Taupe \stylecolor {#87794E} {} \b {See also} \l {Basic Style}, \l {Material Style} \section1 Attached Property Documentation \styleproperty {Universal.accent} {color} \target universal-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 Universal.Cobalt. In the following example, the accent color of the highlighted button is changed to \c Universal.Orange: \table \row \li \snippet qtquickcontrols-universal-accent.qml 1 \li \image qtquickcontrols-universal-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 Universal colors} that have been designed to work well with the rest of the Universal style palette. \endstyleproperty \styleproperty {Universal.background} {color} \target universal-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 pane is changed to \c Universal.Steel: \table \row \li \snippet qtquickcontrols-universal-background.qml 1 \li \image qtquickcontrols-universal-background.png \endtable \endstyleproperty \styleproperty {Universal.foreground} {color} \target universal-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 Universal.Pink: \table \row \li \snippet qtquickcontrols-universal-foreground.qml 1 \li \image qtquickcontrols-universal-foreground.png \endtable \styleproperty {Universal.theme} {enumeration} \target universal-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 Universal.Light Light theme (default) \value Universal.Dark Dark theme \value Universal.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 Universal.Dark: \table \row \li \snippet qtquickcontrols-universal-theme.qml 1 \li \image qtquickcontrols-universal-theme.png \endtable \endstyleproperty \section1 Attached Method Documentation \stylemethod {color} {color} {enumeration} {predefined} \target color-attached-method This attached method returns the effective color value of the specified \l {pre-defined Universal colors}{pre-defined Universal color}. \qml Rectangle { color: Universal.color(Universal.Red) } \endqml \endstylemethod \section1 Related Information \list \li \l{Styling Qt Quick Controls} \endlist */
