KitBadge

Non-interactive label for a category, count or status.

Non-interactive label for a category, count or status.
Native screenshot of the same example, rendered with Skia.

Set text and choose Tone.neutral, .accent, .success, .warning or .danger. Keep an explicit label so meaning does not depend on color alone.

The badge sizes itself from its text and does not consume remaining space. Semantic tones use theme colors without adding button behavior.

Complete example

This complete Slint file is a visual composition used to produce the screenshot above. Internal strings without a label property retain the kit’s default language; system dialogs follow the host platform. Projected state and callbacks requesting a decision need host wiring; the standalone fixture does not supply that controller. Set up the Rust project, then see the typed controller application for working editing, validation and selection.
