MORE Docstring and main doc updates!
* Finally 2.7 gets an upgrade and with it doc strings. It however doesn't get a full-version bump like main PySimpleGUI as this may be its last release.
* New window[key] == window.FindElement(key)
* New `window[key] == window.FindElement(key)`
* New Update calling method. Can directly call an Element and it will call its Update method
* window[key](value=new_value) == window.FindElement(key).Update(value=new_value)
* `window[key](value=new_value) == window.FindElement(key).Update(value=new_value)`
* Made Tearoff part of element so anything can be a menu in theory
* Removed a bunch of __del__ calls. Hoping it doesn't bite me in memory leaks
* Removed a bunch of `__del__` calls. Hoping it doesn't bite me in memory leaks
* Combo.Get method added
* Combo.GetSelectedItemsIndexes removed
* New Graph methods SendFigureToBack, BringFigureToFront

* Frame - Trying to set the size but doesn't seem to be setting it correctly
* Tabs will now expand & fill now (I hope this is OK!!!)
## 4.5 PySimpleGUI Release 04-Nov-2019
* Metadata!
* All elements have a NEW metadata parameter that you can set to anything and access with Element.metadata
* Windows can have metadata too
* Window.finalize() - changed internally to do a fully window.read with timeout=1 so that it will complete all initializations correctly
* Removed typing import
* ButtonReboundCallback - Used with tkinter's Widget.bind method. Use this as a "target" for your bind and you'll get the event back via window.read()
* NEW Element methods that will work on a variety of elements:
* set_size - sets width, height. Can set one or both
* get_size - returns width, heigh of Element (underlying Widget), usually in PIXELS
* hide_row - hides the entire row that an element occupies
* unhide_row - makes visible the entire row that an element occupies
* expand - causes element to expand to fill available space in X or Y or both directions
* InputText Element - Update got new parameters: text_color=None, background_color=None, move_cursor_to='end'
* RadioButton - fix in Update. Was causing problems with loading a window from disk
* Text Element - new border width parameter that is used when there's a relief set for the text element
* Output Element - special expand method like the one for all other elements
* Frame element - Can change the text for the frame using Update method
* Slider element - can change range. Previously had to change value to change the range
* Scrollable frame / column - change to how mousewheel scrolls. Was causing all things to scroll when scrolling a single column
* NOTE - may have a bad side effect for scrolling tables with a mouse wheel
* Fix for icon setting when creating window. Wasn't defaulting to correct icon
* Window.get_screen_size() returns the screen width and height. Does not have to be a window that's created already as this is a class method
* Window.GetScreenDimensions - will return size even if the window has been destroyed by using get_screen_size
* Now deleting window read timers every time done with them
* Combo no longer defaults to first entry
* New Material1 and Material2 look and feel color schemes
* change_look_and_feel has new "force" parameter. Set to True to force colors when using a Mac
* Fix in popup_get_files when 0 length of filename
* Fix in Window.SetIcon - properly sets icon using file with Linux now. Was always defaulting

In Python, functions behave just like object. When you're placing a Text Element into your form, you may be sometimes calling a function and other times declaring an object. If you use the word Text, then you're getting an object. If you're using `Txt`, then you're calling a function that returns a `Text` object.
**Lists**
It seemed quite natural to use Python's powerful list constructs when possible. The form is specified as a series of lists. Each "row" of the GUI is represented as a list of Elements. When the form read returns the results to the user, all of the results are presented as a single list. This makes reading a form's values super-simple to do in a single line of Python code.

**Dictionaries**
Want to view your form's results as a dictionary instead of a list... no problem, just use the `key` keyword on your elements. For complex forms with a lot of values that need to be changed frequently, this is by far the best way of consuming the results.
