## Detailed Description

CustomTheme lets you add additional themes beyond light and dark. While the light and dark themes are applied automatically based on the operating system's color scheme, a CustomTheme must be activated explicitly by the application. Apart from this difference, all themes work the same way.

You can define any number of custom themes inside a Style.

     Style {
         CustomTheme {
             name: "HighContrast"
             theme: Theme {
                 control.background.color: "white"
                 control.background.border.color: "black"
                 control.background.border.width: 2
             }
         }

         CustomTheme {
             name: "Sepia"
             theme: Theme {
                 control.text.color: "#5b4636"
                 control.background.color: "#f4ecd8"
                 control.background.border.color: "#c8b99a"
                 applicationWindow.background.color: "#efe6d0"
             }
         }
     }

To activate a CustomTheme, set Style::themeName to its name from the application:

     ComboBox {
         model: StyleKit.style.themeNames
         onCurrentTextChanged: StyleKit.style.themeName = currentText
     }

You can also set a CustomTheme as the default theme at start-up:

     ApplicationWindow {
         width: 1024
         height: 800
         visible: true

         StyleKit.style: MyStyleKitStyle {
             themeName: "HighContrast"
         }
     }

The custom themes defined in a Style can be queried at runtime from Style::customThemeNames or Style::themeNames.

Note: Types in Qt.labs modules are not guaranteed to remain compatible in future versions.

See also Theme, Style::themeName, and Style::customThemeNames.

## Property Documentation

### name : string

The name of this theme. This is the value you assign to Style::themeName to activate it.
