Setting the Look and Feel Profile Option

The Oracle CRM Technology Foundation uses the profile option Oracle Applications Look and Feel (internal name APPS_LOOK_AND_FEEL) to determine its look-and-feel. This profile option is used by Oracle Application Framework as well; see My Oracle Support Document 1315510.1, "Oracle Application Framework Profile Options," for more information on this profile option. Note that the default value is not set (null), which implies the Alta Look and Feel.
