### 7. Style

The Style dialog allows three Desktop style choices to be made, and the icon style (``normal'' or ``large'') to be selected.

- Draw widgets in the style of Windows 95. Select this option for a Windows95/98(tm) style for the KDE Desktop widgets. If this option is not selected, they will have a Motif(tm) style. For example, the widget that chooses this option is a button in Motif style, and a check box in Windows 95 style.
- Menubar on top of the screen in the style of MacOS. This option emulates the MacOS style by placing a menubar for the currently-active application at the top of the screen.
- Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps. Selecting this option allows the "look and feel" of KDE applications (mainly fonts and colors) to also be applied to certain non-KDE X11 applications such as Emacs and XEmacs.

Note: The ``Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps'' feature uses `krdb`, KDE's interface to `xrdb`, the X-resources database. If this causes you to experience problems with your non-KDE applications, you may wish to deactivate this feature. A change of this selection may not take effect until KDE is restarted.

The Icon style section allows you to choose between ``normal'' and ``large'' style icons. You may make this choice separately for icons used in the Panel, File manager and desktop icons, and Other icons.

- Note: The Panel Icon Style controls the size of the Panel. For more complete configuration, including the choice of ``tiny'' style icons for the Panel, use the panel configuration dialog (select ``Configure'' in the Panel menu, or go to the ``Applications -> Panel'' configuration menu).

To restore the KDE default configuration, click on the Default button at the bottom of the screen. Click on Apply or OK to activate your choice.

Note: Pressing Ok or Apply applies changes made in all of the display setup modules.
