All,
There are many examples of similar yet different looking GUIs created
with FOX. Qt and several other cross platform GUI have classes for
styles or themes that initially inherit (when possible) from the
desktop. On an embedded system I won't have a desktop, just Linux and
possibly X11 (unknown yet, sometimes we don't even have that) but we
will have a touch screen so X11 or some substitute most likely.
On Qt and some other GUI libraries there is a class or classes to create
a "style" or "theme" inherited by all widgets. You can select a
different style/theme while the application is running and have it
change its appearance, location of the dialog button box, shape of
buttons, windows, and their decorations, etc.
Examples would be here:
https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/qt-widgets-styles-example.html
There were a bunch of predefined styles for Windows XP, Motif, etc. and
you could change by calling QApplication::setStyle("styleName");
Is there a similar concept by a different name in FOX?
