=== Element Types ===
These are the different types of elements that you can find when going through the Stellaris interface code. Sadly, most of them are controlled and only manipulable by hardcoded functions, which means they can't be fully used in custom GUI elements, but the default vanilla elements can all have their attributes modified. Some of these elements can be found as examples in <code>/interface/reference.txt</code>, whilst the rest, all around the vanilla interface files.
