After updating Roblox Studio, some properties appear as bold. Maybe some new feature because I searched online what it is and there’s nothing related. So what does it mean?

My guess is that it’s to help with visibility? Perhaps showing the most commonly changed properties?
I don’t see any official update notes about this either.
Taking a guess that maybe those highlighted properties are of things that aren’t currently visible, so the bold differentiates that? Since the bordersize is 0, both that and the bordercolor are not currently visible even if you change bordercolor, and same goes for the backgroundcolor because of the transparency? Maybe try seeing if the bold properties go away if you change the transparency or bordersize? Either way, it is probably not anything significant otherwise we would see more from Roblox about it.
So basically this started happening to me yesterday, what would happen is any time I changed a property, the text of the property became well, bold.
I still have no idea why it happens, but that seemed to be the cause of it.
I assume it’s in preparation of the new UIStyle System. The effects of UIStyle don’t apply to modified properties so the bold ones might be indicating they’ve been modified and aren’t the default values for that instance.

It refers to what properties have been changed.
You can check this by inserting a frame from the explorer and also running this code in the command bar:
Instance.new("Frame",game:GetService("StarterGui"):FindFirstChildOfClass("ScreenGui"))
If you compare the properties of the two, you will notice that the properties that are bolded are the ones that don’t match. Which made me assume it’s just a way to tell people that these properties don’t match.

Yeah I noticed this too, thanks, I was wondering what that meant…
Yep, no problem.
Seems to be the most accurate answer. But it only applies to GuiObjects and some UI effects (such as UICorner), and I wonder why.
