Qt Quick Controls Configuration File▲
Qt Quick Controls support a special configuration file, qtquickcontrols2.conf, which is built into an application's resources.
The configuration file can specify the preferred style and certain style-specific attributes. The following example specifies that the preferred style is the https://. Furthermore, when the application is run with the Material style, its theme is light and the accent and primary colors are teal and blue grey, respectively. However, if the application is run with the https:// instead, the accent color is red and the appropriate theme is chosen based on the system theme colors.

Using the Configuration File in a Project▲
In order to make it possible for Qt Quick Controls to find the configuration file, it must be built into application's resources using the https://. Here's an example .qrc file:
<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
<qresource prefix="/">
<file>qtquickcontrols2.conf</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>Qt Quick Controls uses a file selector to load the configuration file. It is possible to provide a different configuration file for different platforms and locales. See QFileSelector documentation for more details.
Finally, the .qrc file must be listed in the application's .pro file so that the build system knows about it. For example:
RESOURCES = application.qrc
