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"
              }
          }
      }
