SYNOPSIS

include "draw.m";
include "prefab.m";
prefab := load Prefab Prefab->PATH;

Style: adt
{
    titlefont:      ref Draw->Font;
    textfont:       ref Draw->Font;
    elemcolor:      ref Draw->Image;
    edgecolor:      ref Draw->Image;
    titlecolor:     ref Draw->Image;
    textcolor:      ref Draw->Image;
    highlightcolor: ref Draw->Image;
};

DESCRIPTION

The Style type collects the font and colour information for an application or a set of items within an application. Except when using the layout routines (see prefab-compound(2) and prefab-element(2)), the members of a Style are the only way to control the appearance of Prefab items. Note that although the `...color' members of Style in practice often refer to a literal colour (a single replicated pixel of colour), they can be any image.

Styles are allocated by regular Limbo definitions; there is no allocation function. All the members of a Style must be defined. Although it will not cause errors to modify the members of a Style after it has been created and passed to a Prefab routine, the results may be unpredictable.
