I am *very* interested in this effort -- IMHO we absolutely need to be able
to establish the look-and-feel for applications in a centralized manner
(color schemes, fonts, button styles, etc.)

>From the description, this appears to be an effort to establish a common
API or approach for *both* Qt5Widgets and QML2+?  That's what I'd be most
excited about (one approach).  Selfishly, I'm mostly focused on QML 2+ in
Qt5+, even we'll have legacy widget styling needs at some level after
migrating to Qt5, (we're currently using Qt stylesheets).
