* Cursor color change: For changes to the cursor's color to take effect,
IDLE must be restarted. This is a known issue with Tk's Text widget, so I
don't see how we could work around this... Still, we could have a popup
message appear after a change to the cursor color in the config dialog,
informing the user of this. I've seen several bug reports on this already,
and have heard by word of mouth that this has frustrated several more
people.
Unbelievable - never believe what people tell you about Tk without checking
for youself!
I just discovered that Tk's Text widget is just fine! IDLE's configHandler
wasn't bothering to update the cursor color. I just added 3 lines of code,
and -voila-! it works.
I'll upload a patch to SF in a bit, but for those of you who want to try it
out, copy/paste this into configDialog.py:
def ActivateConfigChanges(self):
"Dynamically apply configuration changes"
winInstances=self.parent.instance_dict.keys()
theme = idleConf.CurrentTheme()
cursor_color = idleConf.GetHighlight(theme, 'cursor', fgBg='fg')
for instance in winInstances:
instance.ResetColorizer()
instance.ResetFont()
instance.set_notabs_indentwidth()
instance.ApplyKeybindings()
instance.reset_help_menu_entries()
instance.text.configure(insertbackground=cursor_color)
