       The default style pen is used as the widget pen.

       Note that while the widget pen is mutable and changes to it will result in immediate redrawing, any
       changes made will be lost if the widget style is changed.

          use Tickit;
          use Tickit::Widget::Static;

          my $hello = Tickit::Widget::Static->new(
             text   => "Hello, world",
             align  => "centre",
             valign => "middle",
          );

          Tickit->new( root => $hello )->run;
