Appearance
is an option for displayed objects such as Button and Slider which specifies the general type of appearance they should have.

Typical settings for Appearance include Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, as well as such attributes as "Open" and "Closed".

When multiple appearance specifications refer to a particular object, they are given in a list.

When an object can be in several different states, the setting for Appearance can be given in the form {"cond₁"->app₁, "cond₂"->app₂, ...}.
