Hi Creators,
We are thrilled to announce that our Styling APIs and no-code Style Editor are now fully released! You can use all these APIs and corresponding tool, and publish with Styles in your live experiences! 
Thank you for all your excitement and feedback as we’ve iterated on this feature. Styling is a Roblox-native feature that lets you declare and globally apply overrides to UI instance properties. This is done via different APIs:
StyleRulesdefine styled properties which override properties on the instances affected by the Selector property.StyleSheetsaggregate StyleRules and can be linked to DataModel trees to apply style properties to instances.StyleLinksconnect a StyleSheet to the instance tree whose root is the parent of the StyleLink.StyleDerivesreference another StyleSheet for a parent StyleSheet to inherit StyleRules and token definitions
We also have a Studio-native Style Editor that allows you to create, manage, and apply UI styles for Roblox experiences through a combination of design sheets, style rules, tokens, and themes. You can find the Style Editor under the Studio UI tab. Learn more about how to get started with the Style Editor here.
For a full introduction to the system, you can read our Client Beta announcement here, read our step-by-step guide, or watch our video tutorial!
Styling & Cross-Platform Development
Styling is an integral tool to our cross-platform development story. Check out the Interactivity Showcase here to see how we used Styling to build a dynamically themed HUD for a potential gardening game. Styles aren’t just used for changing the appearance of your UI; they’re also powerful layout drivers, gracefully handling screen orientation shifts from portrait to landscape, and can even add assistive hints based on what input device is connected.
New Updates Since Our Client Beta
In the past couple months, we’ve added:
- The ability to pseudostyle UIPageLayout through the Style Editor and the Styling APIs.
- The ability to view Plugin StyleSheets from PluginDebugService in the Style Editor by toggling which source to view StyleSheets from! This will make it easier for you to style your plugins in Studio.
We’ve also fixed:
- A bug where StyleSheets were not applying styled properties when parented to a Plugin.
- A bug in the Properties Panel where instance properties that shared a name with pseudo-instance properties were incorrectly marked as Influenced by the StyleRules selecting the pseudo-instance.
- A bug where the NumberSequence/ColorSequence dialogs in StyleEditor were not showing numbers to 3 digits of precision.
- A bug in NumberSequence/ColorSequence dialogs in StyleEditor where dragging keypoints near each other would cause your selected keypoint to switch.
FAQs
- How can I easily swap which Styles I apply given different conditions?
- We’re exploring an idea to allow you to conditionally apply styles based on parent properties or global properties in a no-code manner inside the Style Editor. Stay tuned here!
- How should I specify different Styling for different instances if I don’t want to create multiple StyleLinks?
- We recommend using different StyleRules with the Tag (.) selector. This allows you to apply multiple StyleRules from the same StyleLink by adding tags to that instance.
- I saw that I can now add multiple UIStrokes to each UI object! How can I style these?
- We’ll soon be adding support for styling multiple pseudoinstances, including UIStrokes. In the meantime, you can achieve this by giving each UIStroke a different name or using different tags for it.
- How does Styling work with Studio’s new user default properties settings?
- If you set instance defaults before you have created a Base StyleSheet via the Style Editor, those will automatically be updated as the defaults when your Base StyleSheet is created.
What’s Next?
Styling is foundational to building reskinnable, reconfigurable, and responsive UI; it can be used to achieve cross-platform UI for different device preferences and screens. We’re exploring support for more advanced features – such as nested pseudo-instances and animations. Many upcoming improvements and features will be integrated into the Styling system as it continues to evolve.
