Thanks @dorothyr! Yes, I know the preferences. I've added the colors to the defaults because it took me some time to get it the way I liked it and I wanted to make life easier for first-time users :) As for release 209, it seems like the 209 was released literally an hour after I downloaded 208, bad luck on my side... Maybe we could interrogate the system for dark background rather than hard-coding white. Good idea! After not touching tk for many years, it was a little revelation for me to see how...

Hi! In case anyone's interested, I've tweaked version 6.0 from 2025-07-07 as follows: Dark background on text panes and scrollbars (this seemed a little tricky with tcl/tk on MacOS) Changed default highlight colors to my personal taste and for better readability in dark mode Added Cursor Left and Right keys to [p]revious and [n]ext for quick navigation between diff spots. This now supports key repeat which didn't seem to work with [p] and [n] on MacOS. tkdiff is running great here on MacOS 26 with...
