Hi Alex,
Qt Quick Controls can be themed, and you can use Qt Quick components to do the
theming of these controls. We have been doing this kind of theming work for
Nemo [1]. However, doing this for Sailfish OS's Silica might require some
effort, approval from Jolla etc.
However, there is a simpler way to get your app approved for store: bundle Qt
Quick controls as a static or dynamic library and package it with GCompris. You
will require some tweaks, like renaming QML imports, but this works well.
Regards,
Lucien
