QtCS2015 QtQuickControls2

• Background
  • QtQuick.Controls 1 has tons and tons of objects per control
• Overview
  • QtQuick.Controls 2 has interaction logic in C++, greatly decreases object overhead and number of contexts
  • QtQuick.Controls 2 has visual items still in a (thin) QML layer
• Styling, theming and customization
  • Native/platform styles currently out of scope
    • Would be in a separate (derived) imports?
  • Currently QtQuick.Controls 2 has a simple themable QML layer
    • Ongoing work adapting the palette concept from widgets (QTBUG-45839)
  • Parts of controls can be replaced with custom delegates
• Status
  • Popup items vs. popup windows
  • Text selection handles via IM
  • No scaling (logical units?) thought of yet
• Discussion
  • Accessibility in the QML layer? Needed as it's private from QtQuick
  • Some embedded users don't want accessibility. Seems "Short-sighted".
  • Continue with controls 1 until native/desktop gets brought into the controls 2 idea
  • As in done and maintained, but R&D on controls 2
