[issue40856] IDLE line numbering should be light gray

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

The line number sidebar colors are already user configurable.  We expected preferences for this to be as diverse as for anything else.  I changed them on my custom dark theme to dark blue on light blue, but I don't expect anyone else to like that.

Notepad++ black on white uses a slightly lighter gray on a very light gray (RBG about 233 versus 255 for white).  I think a background different from the text is a good idea.  In retrospect,  I might have suggested a default something more like N++,  but I am not currently willing to change the existing default.
