QCustomCoverFlow
A 3D COVER-FLOW carousel.
The signature music/media hero: the ACTIVE cover sits large and centred
with a bottom scrim, TITLE + ARTIST and a circular PLAY badge; its
neighbours PEEK out on either side, progressively SCALED DOWN, DIMMED and
slid behind it to fake depth. Click a side cover (or drag / wheel / arrow
keys) to rotate it to the centre — the motion EASES smoothly. Fully
painted with QPainter so it is crisp at any size and needs no images to
preview (covers with no coverPath fall back to a per-item accent
gradient).
Data-driven: feed it items with setItems([...]) (each: title, artist,
coverPath, accent) or the itemsJson Designer property. Emits
currentChanged(int), itemClicked(int) and playClicked(int).
