+        However if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using
+        SetFont() and not wxWindow::SetOwnFont) changed and if the corresponding
+        attribute hadn't been explicitly set for this window itself, then this

+        In addition, if the window overrides ShouldInheritColours() 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 accommodate the
+        different usage scenarios. 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
