Not at all. Thank you for the enlightening post.

Oh.

The wonderful thing about computers is the possibility of customizing to 
taste. The think I do not like about .pdf is the motivation to 'control 
the user experience'.

If you want, open an IDLE enhancement issue "IDLE: add alternate 
high-light schemes", select Componemts: IDLE, and attach your 'Console' 
scheme. Many skinnable apps either have a place for users to share their 
custom skins or come with alternatives builtin. There might be other 
emulation schemes worth adding.
