Consolidate QML SystemPalette and QML Palette API

XMLWordPrintable

      https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-systempalette.html is quite a different API compared to https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-palette.html Plus, the SystemPalette has had unfilled gaps for years (see the sub-tasks under QTBUG-111705 )

      The learning curve would be reduced, maintenance would be simplified, and future gaps would be avoided if both APIs were consolidated.

       

      Possible approach

      Turn SystemPalette into an Attached Property that provides read-only access to an underlying Palette object

      Current example at https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-systempalette.html#details :

      import QtQuick 2.0

Rectangle {
    SystemPalette { id: myPalette; colorGroup: SystemPalette.Active }

    width: 640; height: 480
    color: myPalette.window

    Text {
        anchors.fill: parent
        text: "Hello!"; color: myPalette.windowText
    }
}

       

      Consolidated version:

      import QtQuick

Rectangle {
    width: 640; height: 480
    color: SystemPalette.active.window

    Text {
        anchors.fill: parent
        text: "Hello!"; color: SystemPalette.active.windowText
    }
}
