Most elements have 4 possible states : 'normal', 'pressed', 'hover' and 'locked'.
Each state is linked to a behaviour and a style (see the examples).
The style options are not indicated in the documentation of the elements, as they are extensively
covered in the examples.
Getters and setters functions of all the elements are not covered when they are obvious (e.g) get_value for TextInput returns a string containing the inserted input.
Styling of the elements is extensively covered in the examples, as well as in the docs for themes.
See the most useful methods of any elements (e.g. set_size, move, etc) in the docs for common elements methods.
