What should also be pointed out is that your code depends on QQC1, which 
makes its long-term viability somewhat dubious.

But please don't take that as (harsh) criticism! In fact, many thanks for 
working on this! I think it is absolutely essential that applications fit 
into the environment's look&feel. So it is great that you are taking care of 
this for QQC2. As a user, I don't even really care about what it uses behind 
the scenes, as long as it integrates.
