Hi there, i hope you can help me and this is the right address, i tried mailing idle-dev@python.org but it bounced, please forward if possible,

ive got IDLE 3.7.9 on windows 10, and windows 10 is set to dark mode, but all windows by IDLE are bright as a painful light, is there any way to make it all like dark mode?

i managed to switch the console/edit area to dark mode using the attatched hack, but that looks even worse cause now title, menu/scroll and status bar are bright and only the center edit is dark, a bit better then before but not as nice as i want. I know from expirences using tk based software under linux that it is possible to get something like dark mode, i dont know how exactly i did it but i guess it was not that hard, probably some color changes in the desktop enviorment that not only changed gtk's and qt's behavior but also tk's or some other stuff like that thing that makes xterm switch to dark mode...

But under windows i would like that it , in an ideal case, just acts based on the global setting introduced since windows 10, maybe implement that in coming versions...

Or is there any other way to hack this by putting some tk config files somewhere.

i would aprichiate any help on that.

thanks a lot in advance,

Tim from Hamburg
