A style is a container for a set of CSS properties. A style can be assigned to objects, such as a layout component. You can also use it to provide default formatting, for example on selected grid rows.

Using Cycle Size and Offset
Use Cycle Size and Offset to specify different formatting for children of the layout. The two fields together work as an ax + b expression, where:
ais the cycle size,xis the current cyclebis the offset.
For example, to apply the CSS formatting:
- to the 5th child only, leave the Cycle Size empty and set the Offset to 5.
- alternate children, starting with the second, (2, 4, 6...) set the Cycle Size to 2 and the Offset to 2.
- not format the first 10 items, but then format every 3rd child (i.e. 11,14,17...), set the Cycle Size to 3 and the Offset to 11.
