Thank you for these links. I do understand better what you mean. 
However, my point stands - we need a solution and you maintain this 
anyway because of QWidgets. You asked me for a suggestion even though 
I'm just a user of Qt - you've got it. So what does the future hold for 
Qt Quick Controls 2? Are they going to look and act native, ever? When 
are we going to have it, perhaps in Qt 6? Is Qt Quick Controls 1 going 
to be a reliable and supported solution until then?

They are deprecated which means - yet.
