### 9.25. Style.fvwmconf

Main decoration configuration. `Style` '*' is applied globally. This is the main source of CDE and Motif-like look and behavior. If user wants to preserve CDE-like look and feel, this options should not be changed too much. Otherwise, a plain FVWM configuration can be done which can drastically differ from NsCDE, since FVWM has much more options and variants for a huge number of tastes. `Style` '*' options are partially overridden or extended in `NsCDE.conf` which can be generated with Window Style Manager or simply copied from `$NSCDE_DATADIR/fvwm` to `$FVWM_USERDIR` and edited to suit.

Options in Style.fvwmconf are grouped in 7 categories:

- Default, or '*' styles

- Fvwm modules and FvwmScript(1) script specific

- Some basic sane defaults for common applications

- Menu styles (not a style commands, but styles anyway)

- Cursor styles (not a style commands, but styles anyway)

- Decors "SubpanelsDecor" and "FpDecor" which are slightly modifiying Front Panel and it's Subpanels.

- GeometryWindow directives (FVWM3 only)

This styles can be extended and/or overridden by the user's own `$FVWM_USERDIR/Style.fvwmlocal`, and core style for all windows (*) can be overriden by creating `$FVWM_USERDIR/Style.override` which extends or changes directives for core style from `$NSCDE_DATADIR/fvwm/Style.fvwmconf` prior to applying particular application styles and prior to reading `$FVWM_USERDIR/Style.fvwmlocal`.

Colorsets and fonts used in this configuration are generated and stored in `Font-$DPIdpi.fvwmgen` and `Colorset.fvwmgen`.

Man page fvwm(1) has a rich and extended description of what can be done with a huge set of `Style` commands.
