Buttons in Linux
The appearance and behaviour of buttons in Linux (and other Unix-like) operating systems is defined primarily by which widget toolkit is being employed, the most popular being GTK and Qt, though other toolkits are used. The use of multiple toolkits can lead to less uniform behaviour and appearance across applications when compared with Mac OS or Microsoft Windows. Most widget toolkits also have theming capabilities, so there is no single standard appearance as there is with Mac OS and Windows.
