Defining a style

Styles can be defined to be global (for all elements), for an element in general, or for specific types of an element.

The style is identified by the name attribute, that can be a combination of element type, style name and pseudo selector, or the star character. See Syntax of presentation styles file (.4st) for a complete description of the presentation style definition syntax.

In the definition of a style, the name attribute is used as a selector to apply style attributes to graphical elements.

You can define a style as global or specific to a class of graphical object:

A style identified by a star (*) is a global style that is automatically applied to all elements:
```
<Style name="*" >
```
A style identified by an element-type is a global style that is automatically applied to all objects of this type:
```
<Style name="ComboBox" >
```
A style identified by a style-name is a specific style that can be applied to any element types using that style name in a STYLE attribute:
```
<Style name=".important" >
```
A style identified by an element-type followed by a dot and a style-name is a specific style that will only be applied to elements of the given type and using the style name in a STYLE attribute:
```
<Style name="Window.main" >
```
A style identified by an element-type followed by a colon and a pseudo-selector is a style that will only be applied to elements of the given type, if the condition defined by the pseudo-selector is satisfied:
```
<Style name="Edit:focus" >
```
A style identified by an element-type followed by a dot and a style-name, and a colon with a pseudo-selector, is a specific style that will only be applied to elements of the given type, using the style name in a STYLE attribute, if the condition defined by the pseudo-selector is satisfied:
```
<Style name="Edit.important:focus" >
```
It is possible to combine pseudo-selectors:
```
<Style name="Edit:query:focus" >
```
