I'll be submitting a patch to fix this issue in a short while. I just found out that this has nothing to do with Tk's Text widget, which is fine. Maybe then after I change that option (and perhaps some others) IDLE should say "Please restart IDLE for some changes to take effect" ? > AFAIK you can - you simply have to restart IDLE after changing the color This is a known issue with Tk's Text widget, which IDLE uses. You could force it to be black/white.Īlso you should hide this option in selector - it's misleading, because I thought i does something.ĪFAIK you can - you simply have to restart IDLE after changing the color and saving the changes. Select the box next to Pointer outline color, or the Pointer. Move the slider next to Pointer size to increase or decrease the cursor’s size. As I understand, the caret color is either black or background color. Select Pointer to see what features you can change. The page on the link says you can invert it. So something might be improved here, but I doubt you can reliably set the caret color on Windows see Select an option for the size and color you want for the mouse pointer in the Change the color and size of mouse pointers box. IDLE on Windows appears to be using an always-black caret (cursor) - not the standard caret behavior, which does its "blinking" by inverting the background color. When I change the cursor color to another color, it still stays black, so I can't really make black background. Created on 19:14 by zorkin, last changed 14:56 by admin.
