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 prac-
tice 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.
edgecolor This Image specifies how to draw the edges, or
borders, of compounds.
elemcolor This Image specifies how to draw the base, or
background, of elements and compounds.
highlightcolor
This Image specifies the colour to use to high-
light a selected element.
textcolor This Image specifies the colour in which to draw
an item's regular text.
