font_settings.rs

1//! System-wide font / text rendering settings.
2//!
3//! Mirrors the `theme::current_visuals` / `theme::set_visuals` pattern and
4//! the scrollbar-style globals (`current_scroll_style` / `set_scroll_style`).
5//! Widgets that care about rendering style (`Label`, `Button`, `TextField`,
6//! ...) should consult these at **layout/paint time** so changes made by
7//! the System window propagate without a widget-tree rebuild.
8//!
9//! # Convention
10//!
11//! Each setting has:
12//! - an **override** stored in a thread-local cell (`None` or `false` by default),
13//! - a getter (e.g. [`current_system_font`], [`lcd_enabled`]),
14//! - a setter (e.g. [`set_system_font`], [`set_lcd_enabled`]).
15//!
16//! Widgets pick between the global override and their own per-instance value
17//! — analogous to how a `ScrollView` takes the global scroll style unless
18//! the caller wired an explicit one.
