StyleKit Custom Delegates Example showing controls with shader effects and custom overlays

This example shows how to extend StyleKit styling with custom delegates that allow you to render a style beyond what the default rendering provides.

It demonstrates how to:

Create overlay delegates by subclassing StyledItem and placing custom items on top of the standard delegate rendering.
Create underlay delegates using a plain Item with delegateStyle and control properties, embedding a StyledItem on top for the standard look.
Pass per-state data to a custom delegate using the data property.
Apply shader-based visual effects using ShaderEffect and ShaderEffectSource in combination with StyledItem.
Implement a custom shadow delegate to replace the built-in shadow rendering.
Pass static configuration to a delegate via regular QML properties (e.g. distinguishing the first and second handle of a RangeSlider).

Note: This example requires Qt Shader Tools, an optional library available through the Qt Maintenance Tool.

You can run the example from:

Qt Creator
