The controls setting for a theme determines the visual appearance of windows, panels, and
applets. It also determines the visual appearance of the GNOME-compliant interface items that
appear on windows, panels, and applets, such as menus, icons, and buttons. Some of the
controls setting options that are available are designed for special accessibility needs. You can
select an option for the controls setting in the Controls tabbed page of the Theme Details tool.
The window frame setting for a theme determines the appearance of the frames around
windows only. You can select an option for the window frame setting in the Window Border
tabbed page of the Theme Details tool.
