Three small fixes around the new Button + ButtonGroup so the cursor is
always visible and the section reads as a single Button showing flag
combinations.
ButtonGroup now exposes cursorIndex + hovered(index, isHovered) so
panels can drive a single Button's hasCursor without reaching past
ButtonGroup's API. Every chip gets bordered: true so the row reads as
a real picker — distinct outlines, not just a tinted fill that vanishes
into the background.
Button's border treatment grows two paths so the cursor is always
visible regardless of other state: bordered + hot recolors the border
to the accent and thickens to the focus-ring width, and selected + hot
thickens the existing accent border to the focus-ring width (so the
cursor landing on the chosen option still reads as cursor presence,
instead of disappearing into the selected fill).
Gallery's Button section pairs each demo button with a small caption
('idle', 'active', 'icon only', 'icon + active', 'bordered +
focusable') so the row reads as one Button with its state flags side
by side rather than five unrelated buttons. The ButtonGroup section
gets the cursor wiring (cursorIndex + onHovered) plus an
onFocusedChanged auto-scroll so the cursor visual is reachable via
j/k h/l from the panel cursor model.
The three components were three takes on the same shape \u2014 a clickable
rectangle with text/icon, a hot/hover state, an optional persistent
border, and an optional 'selected' or 'active' highlight. CursorPill
was a 30-line PillButton wrapper that added a hovered() signal;
ChoiceButton was effectively PillButton with selected: bool painting
an accent fill+border.
Collapse them into a single qs.Ui.Button. State flags compose
independently:
hasCursor / hover hot fill
active persistent foreground-tint fill
selected accent fill + accent border
bordered: true persistent 1px idle border (form primaries)
focusable: true Tab focus paints the accent ring
pressed pressed fill
The hovered(bool) signal is now built-in, so CursorPill's wrapper is
unnecessary. ButtonGroup wraps a Row+Repeater for the form-style
'pick one of N' pattern; panel-cursor-driven cases still compose
Buttons directly in a Row with per-instance hasCursor wiring.
Theme tokens move into a new [style] section in shell.toml:
border-width = 1
focus-border-width = 3
idle-border-alpha = 0.4
hot-fill-alpha = 0.08
selected-fill-alpha = 0.18
pressed-fill-alpha = 0.22
focus-fill-alpha = 0.22
Style.qml parses these out of the same shell.toml [font] / [bar]
already reads, and exposes pre-computed Style.hotFill / selectedFill /
pressedFill / idleBorderColor / selectedAccentFill / borderWidth +
the existing focusBorder* tokens. Themes that don't ship a [style]
section get the previous defaults unchanged.
Dev gallery consolidates three sections (PillButton, CursorPill,
ChoiceButton) into Button + ButtonGroup, with the cursor model
sections renamed accordingly.
