If Yes then how?

Hi, the style of a project is contained in a style file in the project's directory: YourProject.sty

Copy that file into the new project's directory and you're done!

This style sheet is extendable. Wile using the Window Editor just change the characteristics of a control and save it. The changed control will be shown in the style sheet and is ready to be re-used all over the project.

Next, you can use a custom window template. Those are sitting in your project's directory \templates\WD\110 System just as an example. These can be generated by a tool in WINDEV in order to get big buttons or a bigger font sizes than PC Soft suggests in their standard templates and which can be used by the generators.

You can change and rework the YourProject.sty style sheet by opening it using WINDEV. There is a bunch of control styles for each control type. One of the is marked to be the "standard" one for usage by the generators.

Kind regards,
