The sane way to have the Theme element exported is via qmlRegisterSingletonType() so I think that's what sailors are doing :)
About the import, they probably just registered the singleton type using the Sailfish.Silica import URI, so you don't have to import another module to be able to access the Theme element ;) 2014-01-28 <christopher.l...@thurweb.ch> > Hi Thomas > > I was hoping you would answer 8-) > > The .js route did occur to me, but I initially decided to make that "Plan > B". > > As the list of UX constants will be used by most of the QML files in my > project, a shared js script (i.e. defined as .pragma library) would seem to > be the way to go.
