I've done this in the past by using update_theming.

Here's an example of updating some colours on the fly

self.text_box.update_theming(
    {
        "colours": {"normal_border": portrait_map[self.portrait]['colour']}
    }
)

It's whatever element you want to change. So if you have a variable called button that is referencing some element from pygame_gui, you'd call button.update_theming

Having investigated this I think this isn't really a question about pygame_gui. The repository for the Square Bounce app that went viral on TikTok is over here:

https://github.com/quasar098/midi-playground

It uses Pygame GUI to make it's settings menu but the whole application is a lot more complicated, and pretty cool!

I also noticed two popular videos on using the app here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XYPlVyLWfQ and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALfkcAvf7t4 which may help you out @spookyv3030
