Can I change the custom_constants of a node via script during run time or at least on loading?

This may be an old question, but it's worth answering for anyone else looking this up: in order to change a theme constant you must call add_constant_override("<constant name>", <value>).

Documentation source: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.2/classes/class_control.html#class-control-method-add-constant-override

In Godot 4, you should go like this for theme constant overrides:

add_theme_constant_override(name :String, constant :int)

For instance:

add_theme_constant_override("separation", 10)
