wxPython Themes/Colors

Hi,

I am not sure if it’s implemented or not. I need to know if I can change the overall color scheme used by wxwidgets before initialization.
This is to create a darker/grey colored GUI. You can find a screen shot of an application named “VibeStation” here:

Not really. The default colors are always the platform and/or theme defaults, but some things can be changed by setting the colors of the parent window before creating the children. Not everything works that way however, such as things that use a different setting from the theme than the standard bg or fg color, such as the background color of listbox or textctrl.

I expect that almost all of that screen shot is custom drawn.
