wxWidgets is a wrapper over the native GUI toolkit. It allows you to write a OS independent GUI code and because it is a wrapper you get most of the benefits of native toolkit like dark mode.

> most of the benefits of native toolkit like dark mode.

On which OS does dark mode work with wx? Certainly not with Windows... (which, as VZ points out, isn't wx's fault, it's just that no APIs officially exist for this - explorer.exe has dark mode, but that uses completely private, undocumented APIs).

Maybe this has something to do with the fact that Windows doesn't have dark mode for the desktop applications in the first place.
