you obviously need to read them if you are implementing a widget and
you're using them to draw it following the current theme; that's the
whole point of having style properties in the first place. :-)

to answer the OP, the style properties are "writable" by writing a theme
for your application - either a file you ship with your application or a
string you embed in your source code.
