Usage Guide

WidgetKit controls follow a common pattern:

• Visual states are managed through theme names and style data.
• Layout is configured through containers, docking, and policy-based sizing.
• Runtime behavior is controlled with explicit C++ APIs.
• JSON serialization is used for reusable UI configuration.

Recommended Practice

• Prefer setThemeName(...) over direct color assignment for reusable visuals.
• Keep hidden/transparent backgrounds as runtime behavior when the setting affects drawing logic.
• Use absolute dock only for chrome, overlays, and fixed-position tool areas.
• Use auto-size mode for absolute containers when the size should follow child controls.
