 - <a name="index-set-style"></a>
 - <a name="index-show-style"></a>
 - <p><small>GDB</small> can style its output on a capable terminal.  This is
 - enabled by default on most systems, but disabled by default when in
 - batch mode (see <a href="Mode-Options.html#Mode-Options">Mode Options</a>).  Various style settings are available;
 - and styles can also be disabled entirely.
 - </p>
 - <dl compact="compact">
 - <dt><code>set style enabled ‘<samp>on|off</samp>’</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Enable or disable all styling.  The default is host-dependent, with
 - most hosts defaulting to ‘<samp>on</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>show style enabled</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Show the current state of styling.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>set style sources ‘<samp>on|off</samp>’</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Enable or disable source code styling.  This affects whether source
 - code, such as the output of the <code>list</code> command, is styled.  Note
 - that source styling only works if styling in general is enabled, and
 - if <small>GDB</small> was linked with the GNU Source Highlight library.  The
 - default is ‘<samp>on</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>show style sources</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Show the current state of source code styling.
 - </p></dd>
 - </dl>
 - 
 - <p>Subcommands of <code>set style</code> control specific forms of styling.
 - These subcommands all follow the same pattern: each style-able object
 - can be styled with a foreground color, a background color, and an
 - intensity.
 - </p>
 - <p>For example, the style of file names can be controlled using the
 - <code>set style filename</code> group of commands:
 - </p>
 - <dl compact="compact">
 - <dt><code>set style filename background <var>color</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Set the background to <var>color</var>.  Valid colors are ‘<samp>none</samp>’
 - (meaning the terminal’s default color), ‘<samp>black</samp>’, ‘<samp>red</samp>’,
 - ‘<samp>green</samp>’, ‘<samp>yellow</samp>’, ‘<samp>blue</samp>’, ‘<samp>magenta</samp>’, ‘<samp>cyan</samp>’,
 - and‘<samp>white</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>set style filename foreground <var>color</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Set the foreground to <var>color</var>.  Valid colors are ‘<samp>none</samp>’
 - (meaning the terminal’s default color), ‘<samp>black</samp>’, ‘<samp>red</samp>’,
 - ‘<samp>green</samp>’, ‘<samp>yellow</samp>’, ‘<samp>blue</samp>’, ‘<samp>magenta</samp>’, ‘<samp>cyan</samp>’,
 - and‘<samp>white</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>set style filename intensity <var>value</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Set the intensity to <var>value</var>.  Valid intensities are ‘<samp>normal</samp>’
 - (the default), ‘<samp>bold</samp>’, and ‘<samp>dim</samp>’.
 - </p></dd>
 - </dl>
 - 
 - <p>The <code>show style</code> command and its subcommands are styling
 - a style name in their output using its own style.
 - So, use <code>show style</code> to see the complete list of styles,
 - their characteristics and the visual aspect of each style.
 - </p>
 - <p>The style-able objects are:
 - </p><dl compact="compact">
 - <dt><code>filename</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Control the styling of file names.  By default, this style’s
 - foreground color is green.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>function</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Control the styling of function names.  These are managed with the
 - <code>set style function</code> family of commands.  By default, this
 - style’s foreground color is yellow.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>variable</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Control the styling of variable names.  These are managed with the
 - <code>set style variable</code> family of commands.  By default, this style’s
 - foreground color is cyan.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>address</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Control the styling of addresses.  These are managed with the
 - <code>set style address</code> family of commands.  By default, this style’s
 - foreground color is blue.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>title</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Control the styling of titles.  These are managed with the
 - <code>set style title</code> family of commands.  By default, this style’s
 - intensity is bold.  Commands are using the title style to improve
 - the readability of large output.  For example, the commands
 - <code>apropos</code> and <code>help</code> are using the title style
 - for the command names.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>highlight</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Control the styling of highlightings.  These are managed with the
 - <code>set style highlight</code> family of commands.  By default, this style’s
 - foreground color is red.  Commands are using the highlight style to draw
 - the user attention to some specific parts of their output.  For example,
 - the command <code>apropos -v REGEXP</code> uses the highlight style to
 - mark the documentation parts matching <var>regexp</var>.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>tui-border</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Control the styling of the TUI border.  Note that, unlike other
 - styling options, only the color of the border can be controlled via
 - <code>set style</code>.  This was done for compatibility reasons, as TUI
 - controls to set the border’s intensity predated the addition of
 - general styling to <small>GDB</small>.  See <a href="TUI-Configuration.html#TUI-Configuration">TUI Configuration</a>.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>tui-active-border</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Control the styling of the active TUI border; that is, the TUI window
 - that has the focus.
 - </p>
 - </dd>
