Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: zorkin (zorkin) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: cannot change cursor color in IDLE Initial Comment: Python 2.5.1 for windows When I change the cursor color to another color, it still stays black, so I can't really make black background. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: zorkin (zorkin) Date: 2007-05-25 03:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1741501 Originator: YES > AFAIK you can - you simply have to restart IDLE after changing the color and saving the changes. Thanks, I found that out already. Maybe then after I change that option (and perhaps some others) IDLE should say "Please restart IDLE for some changes to take effect" ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tal Einat (taleinat) Date: 2007-05-24 19:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1330769 Originator: NO AFAIK you can - you simply have to restart IDLE after changing the color and saving the changes. This is a known issue with Tk's Text widget, which IDLE uses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: zorkin (zorkin) Date: 2007-04-23 07:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1741501 Originator: YES The page on the link says you can invert it. As I understand, the caret color is either black or background color. You could force it to be black/white. Also you should hide this option in selector - it's misleading, because I thought i does something. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gabriel Genellina (gagenellina) Date: 2007-04-23 05:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=479790 Originator: NO 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. So something might be improved here, but I doubt you can reliably set the caret color on Windows; see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/84054/en-us ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1705362&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
