# qcdestyle(3qt)

CDE look and feel

## NAME

QCDEStyle - CDE look and feel

## SYNOPSIS

`#include <qcdestyle.h>`

Inherits QMotifStyle.

### Public Members

**QCDEStyle ( bool useHighlightCols = FALSE )**\
 **virtual ~QCDEStyle ()**\

## DESCRIPTION

The QCDEStyle class provides a CDE look and feel.

This style provides a slightly improved Motif look similar to some versions of the Common Desktop Environment (CDE). The main differences are thinner frames and more modern radio buttons and checkboxes. Together with a dark background and a bright text/foreground color, the style looks quite attractive (at least for Motif fans).

Note that the functions provided by QCDEStyle are reimplementations of QStyle functions; see QStyle for their documentation.

See also Widget Appearance and Style.

## MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

## QCDEStyle::QCDEStyle ( bool useHighlightCols = FALSE )

Constructs a QCDEStyle.

If *useHighlightCols* is FALSE (the default), then the style will polish the application's color palette to emulate the Motif way of highlighting, which is a simple inversion between the base and the text color.

## QCDEStyle::~QCDEStyle ()` [virtual]`

Destroys the style.
