KitCardHeader

Card heading and description with a typographic hierarchy.

Card heading and description with a typographic hierarchy.
Native screenshot of the same example, rendered with Skia.

Set title and, when useful, description, then place the header first in KitCard. Supply the card’s theme.

Heading and description wrap to available width. An empty description removes its text block.

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.
