func | a function to call when the custom palette needs saving. |

#### Returns

the previous change palette hook (that was replaced).

### GtkColorSelectionChangePaletteFunc ()

    void
    (*GtkColorSelectionChangePaletteFunc) (const GdkColor *colors,
                                           gint n_colors);

### gtk_color_selection_set_change_palette_with_screen_hook ()

    GtkColorSelectionChangePaletteWithScreenFunc
