Re: Changing vanilla colors

Good to see there's a plan in gestation. I may well check out pdnext, but
for now, I managed to change the white background to gray30. That has
helped.

Some grep output:

tcl/pdwindow.tcl:336:        .pdwindow.tcl.entry configure -background
"gray30"
tcl/pdwindow.tcl:407:    option add *PdWindow*Text.background "gray30"
startupFile
tcl/pdwindow.tcl:408:    option add *PdWindow*Entry.background "gray30"
startupFile
tcl/pdwindow.tcl:438:        -background gray30 -foreground gray88 \
tcl/pdtk_canvas.tcl:134:        -background gray30

I used this tk rgb color map to lookup the names:
https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TkCmd/colors.htm

I did see a lot of hex colors in the c code when I grepped for "color".
That gave me pause, and undermined the idea that I might be able to make a
brute force global change to the color palette used by tk on my system:

Thanks for the info and advice!

Cheers
