User Interface Styles

By default KShutdown will pick the "best" style that matches your Desktop Environment. However, you can always override the default look and feel with -style <id> option, where <id> is one of the following standard names:

• breeze (since KDE Plasma 5)
• fusion (since Qt 5)
• gtk+
• oxygen (KDE 4)
• plastique
• cde (Retro)
• motif (Retro)
• windows (Retro)
• cleanlooks (use "gtk+" instead)

Example command: kshutdown -style oxygen
