It has the call information about the Text widget and all the others. If it does, I didn't spot it. I did say I was skimming - and there's certainly a good amount of documentation. To some extent, I'm being picky here because while I like examples, I have found projects in the past that provide plenty of narrative and examples, but then when you start to want to do something more complicated, the details and specifics are missing. > Is this what you mean by a Signature? > > Text(Text, > scale=(None, None), > size=(None, None), > auto_size_text=None, > font=None, > text_color=None, > justification=None) > . > > Text - The text that's displayed > size - Element's size > auto_size_text - Bool.

But what I have found in the past is that *anything* which is a "simple wrapper over X" always ends up in a situation where you need some feature from X that the simple wrapper doesn't cover, and you're left with the unpalatable choice of whether to omit functionality you want to provide, or rewrite your code to use X directly. So my question is more about "if you hit a need for something PySimpleGUI doesn't cover, what are your options? > 3.

Personally, I'd argue quite strongly that "match the OS default" is the right default for a GUI library, but that's a hugely subjective area, and you're never going to please everyone. So do whatever works for you. Thank you again Paul... I learn something new from every reply 😊 No problem - glad it helped. Paul
