"anchorY" — The default anchor alignment along the y direction. Values range between 0 and 1.
A color key indicates which default color value is set.
"background" — The default color for that the screen is cleared with. Returns multiple values (see example below).
"fillColor" — The default fill color for vector objects like display.newRect(). Returns multiple values (see example below).
"strokeColor" — The default stroke color for vector objects like display.newRect(). Returns multiple values (see example below).
"lineColor" — The default color for line objects like display.newLine(). Returns multiple values (see example below).
"isNativeTextBoxFontSizeScaled" — The default Boolean value to be assigned to a native text box’s object.isFontSizeScaled property when created via the native.newTextBox() function. This is true by default.
"isNativeTextFieldFontSizeScaled" — The default Boolean value to be assigned to a native text field’s object.isFontSizeScaled property when created via the native.newTextField() function. This is true by default.
"isExternalTextureRetina" — The default Boolean value to be assigned as a external texture’s sampling behavior whenever a new one is created, say by a plugin. This is true by default.
"isImageSheetFrameTrimCorrected" — The default Boolean value to be assigned as a new sprite’s frame trim correction behavior whenever a sprite is loaded by Solar2D. This is false by default.
"magTextureFilter" — The default magnification sampling filter applied whenever an image is loaded. Values include "linear" or "nearest".
"minTextureFilter" — The default minification sampling filter applied whenever an image is loaded. Values include "linear" or "nearest".
"textureWrapX" — The texture wrap mode along the x direction. Values include "clampToEdge", "repeat", or "mirroredRepeat".
"textureWrapY" — The texture wrap mode along the y direction. Values include "clampToEdge", "repeat", or "mirroredRepeat".
