# Style

## Introduction

This module is used to configure how the individual widgets are drawn by &kde;.

A Widget is a commonly-used programmer's term for referring to User Interface elements such as buttons, menus, and scroll bars. You can think of them as the fundamental pieces that are assembled to make your application.

You can configure how the widgets are drawn with this module, but to change the color of the widgets, you should refer to the section entitled Colors.

This panel is divided into three sections.

### Widget styles and themes

The top list box, contains a list of the pre-defined styles. Each style has a name, and a brief description.

To change styles, simply click on the style name, and press Apply to see what the new widgets look like.

### Other settings for drawing

This small section has only one option.

Menubar on the top of the screen in the style of MacOS

  This will turn on a menubar at the top of the screen. This menubar will reflect the menu options of the active application.
