Seconded. Many thanks, Guido. The colors look nice.

  Just one minor detail. I'm running 1.5.2 on a Win95 box, and I happen to
have changed the color scheme to give me white text on a dark background;
it's really much easier on the eyes. I've noticed that a number of W95 apps
implicitly assume that text will always be black; they set the background
color to white (or something close to it) but don't bother setting the
default foreground color - so I get WHITE ON WHITE! Sadly, the current
version of IDLE is one of these. I don't even see the banner lines that come
up when the window opens!  Guido, if you could please put on your TODO list
to set a default background color (black, presumably) for text, I'd be most
appreciative.
