Maybe in due time... but you can implement this too if you really needed it.
I have made the whole project open source so users can benefit and contribute alike...

Your parent object has a size of zero (w=0 and h=0). The children must fit in it. When you change your object to :

{"page":4,"id":99,"obj":"btn","x":0,"y":0,"h"480,"w":320,"toggle":1,"bg_color90":"#880000","bg_color91":"#005500","bg_color92":"#00FF00","bg_color93":"#FF0000","text_font":24, "radius30":7}

All buttons are visible. But I don't think that's what you want. This is not an bug. It just doesn't work that way. Parents are normally TABVIEWS or PAGES but they don't save "bg_color90":"#880000" or "toggle":1 for example.

My understanding from the documentation is that if the child has the same property as the parent, then the child will override.
X, y, h and w should be taken from the children.

I could try make the leftmost button a parent and the other children.

Some properties (typically that are related to text and opacity) can be inherited, .i.e. not all properties are inheritable.
You need to set toggle, bg_color90,bg_color91,bg_color92,bg_color93,radius30 on each button individually.
There is no way to group styling properties in the way you are trying to achieve...

You can create a parent obj object and set the text_fontthere once. All x and y coordinates will be relative to the parent.

Ok so me trying to use parent as a template won’t work that well.
And you see no reason to implement it that way?
In order to simplify the config file.
