Changes from 2.30 to 2.31: New Features: Added menu/toolbar styles, freely selectable in 'Tools' -> 'Options' -> tab 'Interface'; available styles are 'Windows 10', 'Windows 8.1', 'KeePass - Gradient', '.NET/Office - Professional' and 'System - Classic'; by default KeePass uses the style most similar to the one of the current operating system.
