There are two types of property blocks: dark green "set" and light green "get" blocks. The specific blocks available vary according to the UI component.
The dark green set blocks allow you to change the component's properties using blocks. For example, if you don't want a button to be enabled for a user until they've typed a set number of characters into a text input component, you can use the button's dark green set button's disabled status block.
The light green get blocks allow you to access the properties of a component (e.g. color, font, width, text, etc.).
