+Returns the default font and colours which are used by the control. This is

+colours or fonts which might look completely out of place on the users

+The \arg{variant} parameter is only relevant under Mac currently and is

+
+\func{void}{InheritAttributes}{\void}
+
+This function is (or should be, in case of custom controls) called during
+window creation to intelligently set up the window visual attributes, that is
+the font and the foreground and background colours.
+
+By ``intelligently'' the following is meant: by default, all windows use their
+own \helpref{default}{wxwindowgetclassdefaultattributes} attributes. However
+if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using
+\helpref{SetFont}{wxwindowsetfont} and not
+\helpref{SetDefaultFont}{wxwindowsetdefaultfont}) changed \emph{and} if the
+corresponding attribute hadn't been explicitly set for this window itself,
+then this window takes the same value as used by the parent. In addition, if
+the window overrides \helpref{ShouldInheritColours}{wxwindowshouldinheritcolours}
+to return \false, the colours will not be changed no matter what and only the
+font might.
+
+This rather complicated logic is necessary in order to accomodate the
+different usage scenarius. The most common one is when all default attributes
+are used and in this case, nothing should be inherited as in modern GUIs
+different controls use different fonts (and colours) than their siblings so
+they can't inherit the same value from the parent. However it was also deemed
+desirable to allow to simply change the attributes of all children at once by
+just changing the font or colour of their common parent, hence in this case we
+do inherit the parents attributes.
