The styles block contains 1 or more style blocks. A style block is used to create style <tags> for advanced textblock formatting.

Figure: Styles block

styles {
   style {
      name: "stylename";
      base: "..default style properties..";
      tag: "tagname" "..style properties..";
   }
}

• name [style name]

  Sets the name of the style to be used as a reference later in the theme.

• base [style properties string]

  Sets the default style properties applied to the complete text. The following tags can be used in the style property:

  • font
  • font_size
    Note The font size is a point size, and the size of the rendered text is affected by the ppi information. The system basic ppi is 96, and you can change it in the emulator menu.
  • color
  • color_class
  • text_class
  • ellipsis
  • wrap
  • style
  • valign
  • align
• tag [tag name] [style properties string]

  Sets the style to be applied only to text between style <tags>..</tags>. When creating paired tags, like <bold></bold>, a ‘+’ sign must be added at the start of the style properties of the first part (<bold>). If the second part (</bold>) is also defined, a ‘-‘ sign must be added to its style properties. This applies only to paired tags; single tags, like <tab>, must not have a starting ‘+’.

  • br
  • tab
  • b
  • match

  The following code is the style sample for the text style:

  style {
     name: "list_text_main";
     base: "font=Tizen:style=Regular font_size=30 color=#ffffff ellipsis=1.0";
     tag: "br" "\n";\
     tag: "ps" "ps";\
     tag: "tab" "\t";\
     tag: "b" "+ font_weight=Bold";
  }
