Material Widgets for Qt

Work in progress

This project' development is not yet complete and API needs to be defined, but quite usable. Contributions are welcome.

Overview

Material Widgets for Qt is a C++ widgets library that can be used on any supported operating system, including Android, where usually only QML gives a native appearance.

Changes

There are several changes compared to the original repository:

• API changes, with some removals (see below).
• Changed the directory structure, headers are separated from implementation files.
• Material 3.
• Removed all color getters/setters; this version is meant to work via QStyle and palettes, not using stylesheets nor setting colors directly per widget. Custom colors should be prepared in a custom palette instead. The style is not ready, so the palette is fixed to light / dark defaults.
• Code style.

Features

• Qt5/6 support
• Qt Designer plugin, thanks to xuannt88 for the initial work
• Light/Dark color scheme

Dependencies

Runtime

• Qt5/6 base

Qt6 only

• qt6-scxml (QStateMachine)

Build

• CMake
• Qt Linguist Tools
• Git (optional, to pull latest VCS checkouts)

Build

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is usually set to Release, though None might be a valid alternative.
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX has to be set to /usr on most operating systems.
Using sudo make install is discouraged, instead use the system package manager where possible.

cmake -B build -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -W no-dev
cmake --build build --verbose
DESTDIR="$(pwd)/package" cmake --install build
