            ## screen. We then place the displayable so the two points are
            ## at the same place.

            ## An anchor/pos can be given as an integer or a floating point
            ## number. If an integer, the number is interpreted as a number
            ## of pixels from the upper-left corner. If a floating point,
            ## the number is interpreted as a fraction of the size of the
            ## displayable or screen.

            ## The default size of text.

            # style.default.size = 22

            ## Note that these only change the size of some of the text. Other
            ## buttons have their own styles.

            ## These settings let you change some of the sounds that are used by
