I re-read #7949 and read the problem as mixing a hard-coded (by tk or Idle is 
not clear) background (white) with a system-default foreground, which is also 
white when the system background is black.  Hence the screenshot in duplicate 
#16984.  In any case, that issue is complementary to this one, about 
user-configured tagged text colors.

Parsing an existing format is an interesting idea.  Most of the variations seem 
pointless, but I like the cobalt one as a basis for a dark theme.  I plan to 
improve it, using current Idle (Classic and New seem the same, so why two?), 
with my changes.  I will upload when I have something I like.

The change I made is to color the backgrounds of 'shell', 'stdout', and 
'stderr' light yellow, light blue, and light red.  These changes work so well 
for me, at least, that I have thought of adding them to an 'Idle New' that is 
really new and different.  But transitions are hard.  The main other thing I 
don't like in 'Idle ???' is the orange for keywords, as too 'different' from 
the purple and blue of builtings and defined. But green is semi standard for 
strings and that does not leave room for three colors on the blue side.
