Theme Engine

The theming engine allows much of the user interface to be customized and personalized.

Components of the user interface such as Title Bar, Home Screen, Call Screen, and Context Bar use Themed Views to facilitate customization.

Themed Views are defined by XML files describing a hierarchical group of visual and formatting elements. They contain theme elements which define the layout and structure of components. Each of these elements is assigned attributes to customize visual appearance and placement.

Theming library based on QGraphicsView

Qt Extended's theming library is based on QGraphicsView. The theming library supports Widgets on Canvas and provides a plugin system for the addition of custom theme items.
