[Development] Deprecation of Qt Quick Controls 1

[Jean-Michaël Celerier]

KDE has some codes that enables simulation of the "native" style through
QtQuickControls 2 if it can be useful :
https://github.com/KDE/qqc2-desktop-style

However, even though Qt Quick Controls (and Qt Quick in general) are both
very nice, I think that a big missing part is CSS-like properties, that is,
properties that would apply to whole subtrees of QML components easily.
Ableton has graciously provided some code for this :
https://github.com/Ableton/aqt-stylesheets but it would be nice to have a
syntaxic solution part of Qt proper...


Best,
