I am not familiar with how exactly QML is implemented, but to to casual 
observer it seems that QML is way more suited for this kind of styling 
than the QWidgets ever were. All properties are bindable, so it could 
perhaps be implemented as an object that binds to all elements in the 
background on their construction, and sets the properties that are 
specified in the style. However, I do realize that the devil for these 
kinds of things is usually in the details, and it is probably not nearly 
as simple as it might seem at first. Still, I have great confidence in 
the engineering capabilities of the Trolls :-)

I'm coming from the MeeGo MTF world where themes are specified in .css files and wondered if there is official support for theming in QML? I'm trying to understand from the experts what is the best way to go about theme support in QML.  Are there any QML examples for theming available?
