If you want to do something like "programmatically alter all buttons the same way", then I would suggest making a project library function that expects a particular component as the input. E.G:

### Project Library Script - `utils`

```python
def setColors(button):
    button.background = system.gui.color(251, 250, 249)

```

### Component Event Script

```python
utils.setColors(event.source.parent.getComponent('Button'))

```

The crucial part is that you pass _the component itself_ as a reference into your project script.
