That's unfortunately not yet possible. I'm still thinking how to properly implement it. I hope it will be available in the next release.

15            property color col1: Qt.lighter(colors.sectionColor, 1.2)
16            property color col2: Qt.lighter(colors.sectionColor, 1.3)
17    }
Most of the work on the app side has been done already. Some parts are still missing.

If that file is simple enough then we can ship one with each theme. It defines colors for both normal mode and night mode.

I can also try to use an ini file for reading the colors.
We can ship an ini file with each theme that defines the colors.

The question is: Should the night mode be a separate theme or should it be a property of the used theme ?

I mean should we ship 2 themes by default: Day mode and night mode or should we let each theme define the colors for night mode ?

Option 1 simplifies the creation of themes.
Option 2 guarantees that each theme gets a night mode.

Thats very great... and easy.. (everything in one place

)

The .ini file idea is simple and much better, because non-qml users will know which file they should edit.

And for the night mode colors part, it should be included with each file so that they can have personalized night mode too.

And if we make a night mode a different theme, then it would be a night mode theme, and not a night mode function. (the user will always have to chage between themes).

Edit:

I like option 2 as option 1 is already present. (its already easy)

Hi,
I'm planning to make a component styled theme for the Holy Quran App,
I have created a illustration in the below pic.

Please tell me if it looks good or not.

If yes then, I would need two things,

1. Background Picture or Background color.
2. Title background (picture) (for surah name or app name).

Edit: I prefer the old design

I don't understand. Why are you posting the new design if you prefer the old desogn

I though about the Qt-component design and made one like that but after making I didnt liked it. I thought It would be good to share.

btw I think the present design needs some polishing.

eg: the buttons part, and virtual arabic keyboard.

We are not using Qt components anyway.

The current design needs polishing a bit but I don't think we need a virtual arabic keyboard. There's already one available for Maemo.

Anyway, I've implemented the theming support and pushed it to git.

I'm now thinking whether I should implement the resume feature now or postpone it to the next version...

The current (maemo) virtual keyboard doesn't work well in portrait mode. In PR.1.3.1, I have to move to landscape to type in search function all the time.

I think resume function can be postponed to next version as its not that urgent.
