    \title Qt Quick Controls Configuration File
    \keyword Qt Quick Controls 2 Configuration File

    Qt Quick Controls support a special configuration file, \c qtquickcontrols2.conf,
    which is built into an application's resources.

    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 {Default Style}{Default} 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. The \c Font sub-group can
    be defined in two alternative ways:

    \code
    [Default]
    Font\Family=Open Sans
    Font\PixelSize=20

    [Material\Font]
    Family=Open Sans
    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 0 to \c 99 similar to,
                but not the same as, the scales used in Windows or CSS. A weight of \c 0 will be thin,
                whilst \c 99 will be extremely black.
                Available pre-defined weights: \c Thin (0), \c ExtraLight (12), \c Light (25), \c Normal (50),
                                               \c Medium (57), \c DemiBold (63), \c Bold (75), \c ExtraBold (81),
                                               \c Black (87).
        \row
            \li \c Style
            \li The \l {QFont::}{style}.
                Available values: \c StyleNormal, \c StyleItalic, \c StyleOblique.
    \endtable

    \section1 Palette Configuration

    The default \l {Control::palette}{palette} can be specified in a \c Palette sub-group
    in each style's section 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

    or:
    \code
    [Fusion\Palette]
    Window=#dedede
    WindowText=#212121
    \endcode

    See \l {qtquickcontrols2-palette}{palette QML Basic Type} for a full list of supported
    attributes.

    \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
    <!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
    <qresource prefix="/">
        <file>qtquickcontrols2.conf</file>
    </qresource>
    </RCC>
    \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 \c .pro file so that
    the build system knows about it. For example:

    \code
    RESOURCES = application.qrc
    \endcode
