allow to select the gui style in the preferences dialog * gui-preferences.h: add new constants for key and default of new preference * main-window.cc (main_window): initialize new class variable for the qt app, get name of default style; (notice_settings): get desired style from preferences or take the default one if the desired one is not found; (octave_qt_app::octave_qt_app): do not set windows style by default * main-window.h: new class variables in main_window for qt app and the name of the default style, new public method for getting the qt app in octave_qt_app * settings-dialog.cc (settings_dialog): fill new combo box for style selection with available styles and select the one from the settings file or the default one; (write_changed_settings): store the style name from the new combo box * settings-dialog.ui: add new combo box for selecting the gui style
