Styling your widgets isn’t entirely new to you. We’ve touched on some minor styling features in prior chapters, and you’ve seen styling techniques in our code samples. But this is the chapter where we’ll take a deep dive on styling. Finally! We get to make our widgets look great in addition to merely working great.

We covered layouts in Chapter 6, “Laying Out Your Widgets,” so we know how to set the location and sizes of our widgets. That’s not styling. Styling is the other stuff that affects the appearance of widgets. Things like:
  • Colors

  • Text appearance (fonts, weights, underlines, etc.)
