PBAppearance
Opaque object handle: (not documented yet)
This object maintains an internal reference count. When the reference count reaches zero, the object will be automatically deallocated. To increment the reference count, call PBAppearanceRetain; to decrement the reference count, call PBAppearanceRelease. These functions are thread-safe.

PBLayoutMetrics
Structure: The layout metrics of an element.
Fields
flags (PBLayoutMetricsFlags): Flags bitwise OR-ed together specifying additional options.
widthExact (int32_t): The preferred width of the element to return from PBElementMeasure. Requires the PBLayoutMetrics_WIDTH_EXACT flag. Otherwise, the preferred width of the element is determined by the element's layout algorithm.
heightExact (int32_t): The preferred height of the element to return from PBElementMeasure. Requires the PBLayoutMetrics_HEIGHT_EXACT flag. Otherwise, the preferred height of the element is determined by the element's layout algorithm.
gap (int32_t): In the standard layout algorithm, this determines the spacing between each pair of adjacent child elements.
insets (PBRectangle): In the standard layout algorithms, this determines the minimum spacing between the edges of the element and its child elements.

PBElementSetStyle
Function: Set an element's style to a preset style.
Syntax (C/C++)
void PBElementSetStyle(PBElementRef element, PBStyleID styleID);
Syntax (Python)
ElementSetStyle(element, styleID)
Parameters and Return Values
[in] element (referenced PBElement): The element to modify.
[in] styleID (PBStyleID): The preset style identifier. This will determine the element's layout metrics and appearance.
Discussion
The element will be repainted later in the event loop and necessary relayouting will be requested.
Example (C/C++)
PBElementSetStyle((PBElement *) panel, PBStyleID_BORDER_OUTSIDE);

PBElementGetLayoutMetrics
Function: Get the layout metrics of an element, as determined by its style, scaled to appear in its window.
Syntax (C/C++)
PBLayoutMetrics PBElementGetLayoutMetrics(PBElementRef element);
Syntax (Python)
ElementGetLayoutMetrics(element) -> (layoutMetrics)
Parameters and Return Values
[in] element (referenced PBElement): The element.
[out] layoutMetrics (PBLayoutMetrics): Its style's layout metrics, with all dimensions given in pixels.
Discussion
You can change an element's layout metrics directly with PBElementSetCustomStyle. Changing its style with PBElementSetStyle will also cause the metrics to change.
The window's scale factor will be used to convert the dimensions in the metrics from dps to pixels automatically each time the scale factor changes.
