GTK has not concept of high contrast mode.  Instead, the user picks a theme that has high contrast.

We WONTFIX this.  The only thing I can think of is to query theme names and check for a string match.  This won't work when the user has a custom theme that is based on a high contrast one.

As mentioned in comment 1, this is totally OS/theme dependent.
