QCustomTileButton
A selectable device / action TILE.
A rounded-rectangle button with a line ICON above a CAPTION — the classic smart-home / launcher tile. It is CHECKABLE: the selected tile paints a two-stop diagonal GRADIENT (e.g. purple->pink) with light icon+text, the rest paint a flat card fill with muted icon+text. Painted with QPainter so it stays crisp at any size and recolours on a theme switch (all colours are qproperties); the icon is a recoloured SVG so it flips light/muted with the selected state.
Give it an icon with iconPath (an .svg) + a caption in code or Qt
Designer. It is a QAbstractButton, so it emits clicked()/toggled(bool) and
participates in a QButtonGroup for single-select device grids.
