 [![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/git.tebibyte.media/tomo/objects.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/git.tebibyte.media/tomo/objects)
 
-Objects contains a standard collection of re-usable objects. All objects in this
-module visually conform to whatever the theme is set to.
+Objects contains a standard collection of re-usable objects. It should be viewed
+also as a reference for how to create custom objects in Tomo.
+
+## Styling
+All objects in this module have roles of the form:
+
+```
+objects.TypeName
+```
+
+Where `TypeName` is the exact Go type name of the object in question. Objects
+may also have different tags to indicate variations, states, etc. If applicable,
+they are listed and described in the doc comment for the object's type. More
+complex objects may have sub-components that are not accessible from the API.
+These are listed alongside the tags.
+
+## Setting Attributes
+It is generally not recommended to set attributes on these objects. However, if
+you must, they can be set by obtaining the object's underlying box through the
+`GetBox` method. Be aware that the exact type of box that is returned here is
+not part of the API, and may change unexpectedly even after v1.0. This caveat
+also applies to children created/managed by the objects.
