<P>
<P>The Style dialog allows three Desktop style choices to be made, and
the icon style (``normal'' or ``large'') to be selected.
<P>
<UL>
<LI> <B>Draw widgets in the  style of Windows 95</B>.  
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.
</LI>
<LI> <B>Menubar on top of the screen in the style of MacOS</B>.
This option emulates the MacOS style by placing a menubar for
the currently-active application at the top of the screen.
 
</LI>
<LI> <B>Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps</B>.
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.  </LI>
</UL>
<P>
<P>Note: The ``<B>Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps</B>'' 
feature uses <CODE>krdb</CODE>, KDE's
interface to <CODE>xrdb</CODE>, 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.
<P>
<P>The <B>Icon style</B> section allows you to
choose between ``<B>normal</B>'' and ``<B>large</B>'' style
icons.  You may make this choice separately for icons
used in the <B>Panel</B>,
<B>File manager and desktop icons</B>,
and <B>Other</B> icons.
<UL>
<LI> <B>Note:</B> The <B>Panel Icon Style</B> controls the size of the
Panel.   For more complete configuration, including the choice
of ``<B>tiny</B>'' style icons for the Panel, use the panel configuration
dialog (select ``Configure'' in the Panel menu, or go to the 
``Applications -> Panel'' configuration menu).</LI>
</UL>
<P>
<P>
<P>To restore the KDE default configuration, click on the <B>Default</B>
button at the bottom of the screen.  Click on <B>Apply</B> or
<B>OK</B> to activate your choice.  
<P>
<P><EM>Note:</EM> Pressing <B>Ok</B> or <B>Apply</B> applies changes made in
<EM>all</EM> of the display setup modules.
