# Style modifiers

Apply built-in styles to different types of views.

## Overview

SwiftUI defines built-in styles for certain kinds of views, and chooses the
appropriate style for a particular presentation context. For example, a
[`Label`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Label) might appear as an icon, a string title, or both, depending on
factors like the platform, whether the view appears in a toolbar, and so on.

You can override the automatic style by using one of the style modifiers.
These modifiers typically propagate through container views, so you can
wrap an entire view hierarchy in a style modifier to affect all the views
of the given type within the hierarchy.
Some view types enable you to create custom styles, which you also
apply using style modifiers.

For more information about styling views, see [View styles](/documentation/SwiftUI/View-styles).
