#56 Normal text background color not refreshed

[David Harris]

IdleFork 0.9a2 / Python 2.2.2

Changing the background color for Normal Text in
Custom Highlighting does not change the current
window when 'Apply' is selected. The change does not
become effective until a new Shell or Editor window is
opened.

The other text choices (Comments, Keywords, etc.) do
refresh their background colors when after 'Apply'.

Obviously, this discrepancy does not impact the
usefulness of IdleFork, but the inconsistency is there.

You cannot change the normal text or highlight
foregrounds or backgrounds w/o (re)opening a
window. It is great that Stephen actually was
able to update the definition, commment, keyword,
string and error text foregrounds and backgrounds
on the fly. But only the latter are handled by the
colorizer; the former are set up when the window
is created.

This is not impossible to fix, just not worth the effort
IMHO. You could offer a patch :-)

Nigel Rowe was kind enough to submit a patch to the
Python tracker which implemented this request. Applied
to Python IDLE only, as a new feature. Not backported.
