StyleBox

Inherits: Resource < RefCounted < Object

Abstract base class for defining stylized boxes for UI elements.

Description

StyleBox is an abstract base class for drawing stylized boxes for UI elements. It is used for panels, buttons, LineEdit backgrounds, Tree backgrounds, etc. and also for testing a transparency mask for pointer signals. If mask test fails on a StyleBox assigned as mask to a control, clicks and motion signals will go through it to the one below.

Note: For control nodes that have Theme Properties, the focus StyleBox is displayed over the normal, hover or pressed StyleBox. This makes the focus StyleBox more reusable across different nodes.

Property Descriptions

float content_margin_bottom = -1.0

  • void set_content_margin ( Side margin, float offset )

  • float get_content_margin ( Side margin ) const

The bottom margin for the contents of this style box. Increasing this value reduces the space available to the contents from the bottom.

If this value is negative, it is ignored and a child-specific margin is used instead. For example, for StyleBoxFlat, the border thickness (if any) is used instead.

It is up to the code using this style box to decide what these contents are: for example, a Button respects this content margin for the textual contents of the button.

get_margin should be used to fetch this value as consumer instead of reading these properties directly. This is because it correctly respects negative values and the fallback mentioned above.

float content_margin_left = -1.0

  • void set_content_margin ( Side margin, float offset )

  • float get_content_margin ( Side margin ) const

The left margin for the contents of this style box. Increasing this value reduces the space available to the contents from the left.

Refer to content_margin_bottom for extra considerations.
