[Qt5-feedback] What's about native widgets with QML?

[Lukas Sommer]

What's about native widgets with QML?

I have understood that we can continue to use C++ in Qt5. However, it is
recommended to use QML. How will theming/styling be working with QML these
components? Yes, I have read that you try to port some QWidget based
functionality to QML. However, this seems to be more a hack ontop of the
existing QML, and not an integral part of QML (And with Oxygen/KDE, the
screenshot doesn't look really well.). And in the list of the state of Qt
modules, the native theming engines are DONE, which means that there will be
no further development of new themes for maybe upcoming new operation
systems (when, for example, one day comes a new version of MS Windows with a
new style; what's about a new gtk style for GTK3 to integrate with GNOME3?).

It seems strange to me that QML isn't developed with native theming/styling
to integrate well in all operation systems and desktop environments. Qt has
been not only working cross-platform, but also integrating WELL. When QML is
the prefered way to work with Qt and hasn't native look and feel, that that
is, at long term, the end of Qt as cross-platform framework!?
