      Parameters:
      styleId - the ID of the screen style
      Returns:
      the screen style

    • cloneStyleById

      Style cloneStyleById(String styleId)
      Clones a screen style for a specified ID. This is useful if you want to include multiple instances of the same screen style within a single style.
      Parameters:
      styleId - the ID of the screen style
      Returns:
      the cloned screen style

    • createStyleComponent

      JComponent createStyleComponent(Style style)

      Returns:
      the component
