The new styles are used in the new demos in the test directory. vidtest.r
shows nearly everything. There are no new docs yet. But this old post from
Carl might help, as it lists almost all of the VID styles.
Cheers,

> Dear REBOL/View/VID Users:
>
> A change to VID for REBOL/View Beta 5.0 will break some of your VID
scripts.
>
> The change is in the stylize function.

> Rather than using a unique dialect for style specification, stylize will
take style names and facets in the same format as a layout. This will make
it easier to remember how to create styles, since they will be done in the
same way as layouts. For example:
>
> sheet: stylize [
> btxt: text bold
> rtxt: text bold right red
> gbar: box effect [gradient 200.0.0 0.0.0]
> btn32: button 100x40 font [size: 32]
> btn2: button with [feel: new-feel]
> ]
>
> This will create the btxt, rtxt, gbar, and btn32 styles for use in any
layout. Note the general face spec in the last example using the WITH word.
This is the same as a layout.

> An experimental version of View will be posted on Monday, giving you the
chance to test and change your scripts before B5 is released.

> There are many other improvements to VID B5.

> The full set of predefined face styles will be:
>
> Text Styles
> text - text (white with shadow)
> label - text labels
> title - title text
> subtitle - subtitle text
> norm - text (black, no shadow)
> H1 - heading 1
> H2 - heading 2
> H3 - heading 3
> H4 - heading 4
> sample - example code
> field - text entry field
> area - text entry area
> Graphical Styles
> image - jpeg, bmp, or gif image
> backdrop - scale image to fit page
> backtile - tile image over page
> box - rectangular box
> anim - animated image
> icon - image with text caption
> sensor - image map
> Gadget Styles
> button - click for action
> toggle - up and down button
> rotary - multiple value button
> choice - pop-up button
> check - check box
> radio - radio button
> arrow - arrow button
> progress - progress bar
> slider - slider bar
> Panel Styles
> panel - subpanel layout
> list - text and image lists
>
> In addition there will be these requestor pop-ups:

> request - simple requests
> resuest-color - color picker
> request-date - calendar picker
> request-file - file picker

> Also, you will be able to specify multiple facets for a face:

> text "Hello" yellow blue - yellow text, blue background
> rotary "Breakfast" "Lunch" "Dinner" - choices

> And, finally, there will be a new set of welcome/install windows,
