+- Widget listeners are always declared starting with `on_` prefix and affixing listener event method name afterwards in underscored lowercase form. Their multi-line blocks rely on the `do; end` style.
 - Widget listeners are always followed by a block using curly braces (Only when declared in DSL. When invoked on widget object directly outside of GUI declarations, standard Ruby conventions apply)

-- Custom widget body, before_body, and after_body blocks open their blocks and close them with curly braces.
-- Custom widgets receive additional arguments to SWT style called options. These are passed as the last argument inside the parentheses, a hash of option names pointing to values.
