idle-theme

This is a backup of my idle-theme (Obsidian). ;-)

How to use it?

Place this file (config-highlight.def) in the path :\Python34\Lib\idlelib and replace the current file. (overwrite it)

Installation:

  1. Ensure IDLE is closed

  2. Open your .idlerc file, usually in your home directory

  3. Paste in the settings and save

  4. Open IDLE, Options -> Configure

  5. Under the Highlighting tab, Obsidian should now be a custom theme available in the dropdown list.

Why should I use this file?

Not to become BLIND. Pyhton's Idle is too bright for daily use.

Does this work on system xx on version yy?

This was tested solely on Windows 7 64 bit using python3.4.x but it should work on other platforms as well.
