Hi, I installed 2.4.1 on both my wife's & my computer. Her idle (pyw) starts fine, but mine doesn't. I have had previous versions on my computer as well as idlefork, but I removed them before installing 2.4.1. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, and my idle.pyw file does not respond.
When I click the idle.py file, it starts a console with the following error message printed 13 times: Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'test'. returning default value: '#ffffff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'test'. returning default value: '#000000' Then it boots a blank idle window with white menus. My wife's pull-down menus are gray. I don't know if the color is a clue to anything or not. Anyone else have this problem, know why it happened, or know how to solve it? Yes, I could just use the idle that boots with idle.py, but I'm just wondering why her install produced a clean working version and my install came with this bug?
