QCustomCompassDial
A PREMIUM beveled instrument compass.
The skeuomorphic-modern map compass (the Haulix "NW" dial): a beveled metal RIM (top-lit / bottom-shadowed gradient), a domed glass FACE (radial gradient), a fine watch-bezel TICK ring with brass majors at the cardinals, N/E/S/W (+ intercardinals), a slim two-tone needle and a metallic CENTRE CAP carrying the 16-point heading readout + degrees. All painted (gradients, not effects), so it recolours with the theme and stays crisp.
Sibling of the flat QCustomCompass — same API (heading 0-360, rotateBezel, animated shortest-path ease, drag-to-set, headingChanged) with the premium look. Text is measured to fit (never overflows / truncates).
