Detailed Description

StyleKitDebug is a diagnostic tool that logs style property reads to the debug output. It is useful for understanding why a control ends up with a particular appearance, especially in complex styles that involve multiple themes or style variations.

It is accessed through StyleKit.debug.

To start tracing, assign the id of a Control to the control property:

StyleKit.debug.control = myButton

Each resolved property is printed as a single line showing where the value came from and what it resolved to:

[read] StyleReader[Normal].button.background.color -> button[Normal] = #ff0000

Use filter to limit the output to properties of interest.

See also StyleKit::debug.

Property Documentation

control : Item

The id of the Control to trace.

When set, StyleKit logs all style property reads for this item to the debug output. Set to null to stop tracing.

See also filter.

filter : string

A regular expression used to filter the debug output. Only lines matching the pattern are printed. By default, all output is shown.

For example, to show only reads of the background color:

StyleKit.debug.filter = "background.color"
