Why do we need to declare style properties again after we set it to default? (in screen.rpy)

[tofuuu]

In the screen.rpy there's some style that has been declared default then have another style declaration. what i mean is

Code: Select all

style window is default

and then on the below there's

Code: Select all

style window:
    xalign 0.5
    xfill True
    yalign gui.textbox_yalign
    ysize gui.textbox_height

    background Image("gui/textbox.png", xalign=0.5, yalign=1.0)

why do we need to do it twice?

By saying it is default, you are giving a ALL the default characteristics...and there are a lot of them. Then, a bit later, you overwrote five particular elements, but all the rest remain default.

can we see what are the rest of the default characteristics?

And i do wonder, in the top of the screen.rpy script there's this code

Code: Select all

style default:
    properties gui.text_properties()
    language gui.language

but i can't find text_properties() in gui.rpy?

You need to look in ren'py install directory to find the rest, infact I recommend this anyway for both experience (see how Ren'Py works) and finding things you never knew about.

Where can i look this directory? i can't find it in game folder

Where did you install renpy?
Using myself as an example (Windows, default install location), the folder to look through, should be here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\renpy\launcher\game

I think what you are looking for is inside the gui7.rpy file or style.rpy
