Description: |
Existing tag options include -background color -foreground color -bgstipple bitmap -fgstipple bitmap To assist with syntax highlighting I would like this tag option: -selectforeground color For completeness these options could also be considered: -selectbackground color -selectbgstipple bitmap -selectfgstipple bitmap Widget Configuration Different colors are permitted for -foreground and -selectforeground in the widget configuration. Often the -foreground and -selectbackground colors are dark, and the -selectforeground color is white: the text color is inverted when text is selected. Tag Configuration Tag -foreground colors are widely used, e.g. for syntax highlighting, and it would aid readability when using a light -background and a dark -selectbackground (or vice versa) if the text color could be changed when it is selected. | |||
