[New-bugs-announce] [issue30809] IDLE parenmatch - highlighting options

[Charles Wohlganger]

New submission from Charles Wohlganger:

Current IDLE parenmatch highlighting uses the 'hilite' style when highlighting the parens/expression.

Desired behavior is to use a user-setting based style that is independent from the hilite style (which is used for highlighting selected text). Desired selectable options are for foreground color, background color, underlining and font (which covers font type, size, bold, and italics)

Apart from running IDLE and checking that the selections match, I don't know how to test. Testing would need a human to check for correct colors, etc. if it was made, so it couldn't be automated...
