    Hi there, i hope you can help me and this is the right address, i tried mai= ling idle-dev@python.org but it bounced, please forward if possible,=0A=
    =0A=
    ive got IDLE 3.7.9 on windows 10, and windows 10 is set to dark mode, but a=
    ll windows by IDLE are bright as a painful light, is there any way to make =
    it all like dark mode?=0A=
    =0A=
    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 cha= nges in the desktop enviorment that not only changed gtk's and qt's behavio=
    r but also tk's or some other stuff like that thing that makes xterm switch=
    to dark mode...=0A=
    =0A=
    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...=0A=
    =0A=
    Or is there any other way to hack this by putting some tk config files some= where.=0A=
    =0A=
    i would aprichiate any help on that.=0A=
    =0A=
    thanks a lot in advance,=0A=
    =0A=

    A real hacker never uses dark mode because he needs the extra
    brightness to keep him awake during 48-hour coding marathons.
