With these items resolved, I would be inclined to apply a tk patch to all versions. This will pave the way to add, to the ttk version, a 'Widget Style' listbox allowing users to choose among those available.

I think the current grouping should be labeled 'Text Highlighting'. 'Theme' is ambiguous as to Idle's text highlighting themes versus ttk's widget style themes. The black and white squares look like anything but. With the example box on top, I think the comment should beĠ Foregound 0 Background are supposed to be radio buttons. Version 3 is an clear improvement over the existing tab. And it parallels the fonts/tabs design suggestion somewhat too.Īfter I added a custom Terry theme, my main activity has been tweaking it. same kind of thing, but by renaming the tab as 'Themes' you no longer even need the row of labels at the top. One of the other options I was playing with previously was a listbox for choosing the theme (what I'd suspect is the main user activity here).Ĭfg_highlight_alt.png shows with the listbox for choosing a themeĪlso added highlight3.png. I would make theme element chooser a list box and move the sample to the right. I find the new arrangement more confusing.Īuthor: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * It would have the same functionality but uses a lot less pieces to implement it. I've attached cfg_highlight.png which shows a before and after I'm suggesting as a starting point. Placeholder for improvements to the syntax highlighting tab in IDLE config dialog.
