I've used this for desktop style (before they tied it to other KDE libs -
looking at you, ExtraCmakeModules) :
https://github.com/KDE/qqc2-desktop-style
It works fine for me (though you have to mingle a bit with the font
settings to get the exact same text rendering than on QWidget in my
experience)

This e-mail is a better version of the comments I've left
<https://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/12/06/qt-5-12-lts-released/>.
The release notes for Qt 5.12 <https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.12>
worry me quite a little. They say that Qt Quick 1 is deprecated. There's a
single but key reason this is extremely bad news. And this reason is the
lack of native styles in Qt Quick 2. This alone renders Qt Quick 2 useless
for building decent desktop applications. This in turn means our only
option remains Qt Widgets - a piece of technology which is like a horse
carriage. Good for its time but useless in the era of automobiles. The very
notion of suggesting that for desktop development in 2018 we would be
deprived of a simple declarative language for GUI, a flexible scripting
language to match, GPU-based optimizations and all other wonderful features
Qt Quick has to offer - is ridiculous at best. If it's true that Qt Quick 1
is deprecated and Qt Quick 2 won't get native styles any time soon, this
simply means Qt has severely regressed in its offerings to developers.
In addition, I have tracked Qt Quick from its very beginning in 2010 and I
clearly remember you, the Qt developers, advertised Qt Quick as the new
generation of tools and technologies for building graphical user
interfaces. You said Qt Widgets was not (yet) deprecated but fully finished
and would receive few new features and basic optimizations. I hope you will
spare me effort of quotations in support of that above because I think such
actions would be rather ugly. You know what I'm talking about. I see this
as an additional problem to the one described in my first paragraph. You
have made a promise and repeated that promise for years. If Qt Quick 1 is
no more and so are native styles, there's unfortunately one conclusion -
that you have reneged on this promise.
I am asking of the entire community of developers and management of Qt -
please prove me wrong. Please assure me I'm overreacting. Please tell me Qt
Quick 2 is going to get native styles so that we have the outstanding Qt
Quick 2 for the desktop again.
Best regards,
Dimitar Dobrev
