[SailfishDevel] App own C++ plugin equivalent to Silica Theme

[christopher.lamb at thurweb.ch]

Hi All

I would like to create a C++ plugin for my app to export common UX  
settings as constants to the QML side (Things like font sizes, margin  
sizes that reoccur throughout the app.)

In essence I want something very similar to the functionality offered  
by by the Silica Theme.

After some experimentation I have hit on a solution that both compiles  
and works. This is pasted at the bottom of this mail.

I have 2 questions:

1) Is there a more elegant solution to achieve the same goal?

2) From the C++ side, can I access the Silica them UX constants? e.g  
to set some of my constants based on Silica constants?

Grüsse

Chris
