The Appearance settings application allows you to customise the appearance of your Opie system. The first four tabs allow you to customise different aspects of the user interface, and a preview pane is shown to show the effect of your selections.

Style
Here you can choose between a number of different widget styles. There are four styles installed with the base Opie system: Windows, Light, QPE, and Flat (default). Other styles can be installed and some are available as packages.

Font
On the Font tab you can choose the fond you wish to display text in. This applies to all buttons, window titles etc.

Colors
The Colors tab allows you to choose a color scheme for the Opie interface. You can choose from a list of pre-defined color schemes or make your own.

Windows
The Windows tab lets you choose a style for the window decorations. Other styles can be installed and some are available as packages.

Advanced
The Advanced tab has a number of advanced options. You can force styling for all applications and exclude specific applications. There are also settings to control tab style and placement, and the direction of rotation when you use the Rotate function (clockwise, anticlockwise, or vertical flip).
