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)
