Add placeholderTextColor property for editors

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Currently, the placeholder text color is calculated internally. Basically, it's 50% translucent text color. When customizing controls, the pre-calculated placeholder text color may not be suitable, so we should add a placeholderTextColor property to give users a chance to define a color that matches e.g. with a custom background.

      Example usage:

      import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Controls 2.3

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480

    TextField {
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        color: "white"
        placeholderText: "Search..."
        placeholderTextColor: "#aabbccdd" // <===
        background: Rectangle {
            color: "black"
        }
    }
}
