Well, it's *Python* code:  you look in the source, find where it sets the
colors, and change 'em to whatever you want.  If you grab the development
IDLE off the CVS repository at python.org, you'll find that it now has a
IdlePrefs.py file containing a ColorPrefs class you can fiddle more directly
(but nothing in the development tree is ready for general use -- that's why
it's a development tree <wink>).
