The second page allows specifying different properties of the theme:

  • Font group allows to edit the font used in menus, dialog boxes, etc.
  • Lines group allows to apply dashing to Salome elements.
  • Widgets rounding allows to round corners of Salome dialog boxes and define their parameters.
  • Handle allows to define parameters of the handle.
  • Widget effect allows to apply special effects to Salome dialog boxes.

If SALOME Theme is not used (Use SALOME Style checkbox is switched off), the global system settings are applied (for example, KDE settings). So, the look and feel of the application (for example, palette and/or font) can be customized by using the Qt utility qtconfig.
