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?
