.. _wx.SysColourChangedEvent:

==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.SysColourChangedEvent**
==========================================================================================================================================

This class is used for system colour change events, which are generated when the user changes the colour settings or when the system theme changes (e.g. automatic dark mode switching on macOS). 
         

Event handlers for this event can access the new system colour settings through :meth:`wx.SystemSettings.GetColour` . 







.. _SysColourChangedEvent-events:

|events| Events Emitted by this Class
=====================================

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a :ref:`wx.SysColourChangedEvent` parameter.

 

- EVT_SYS_COLOUR_CHANGED: Process a  ``wxEVT_SYS_COLOUR_CHANGED``   event.   









         



.. note:: 

   The default event handler for this event propagates the event to child windows, since the system events are only sent to top-level windows. If intercepting this event for a top-level window, remember to either call :meth:`wx.Event.Skip`   on the event, call the base class handler, or pass the event on to the window's children explicitly.
