Appendix F

Look and Feels

Introduction

The appearance and behavior of the Visual Thought user interface is controlled by the look-and-feel. The look-and-feel can be specified as a command line argument when starting Visual Thought.

For example, the following command starts Visual Thought with the Motif look-and-feel:

vthought -laf motif

The Motif look-and-feel is the default.

The following table shows the four available look-and-feels and the command line arguments used to specify them when starting Visual Thought:
