When I click on a node in the class browser tree widget, I get: TclError: unknown color name "darkblue". This is coming from line 253 in TreeWidget.py where the background color is hard-coded as "darkblue". On HP-UX 11.11 there is no entry for "darkblue" in rgb.txt.

Do you know anything of the specs for rgb.txt? And can you add such an entry to fix the problem? If you are sure the absence if legit, what color can be depended on if 'darkblue' does not work?

Logged In: YES user_id=200117 One of my collegues tried adding an entry to rgb.txt on HP-UX and running the rgb util, but he couldn't get X to recognise the new color. Looking at the rgb.txt files on HP-UX and Linux (SuSE 8.2) there are many differences, not just color names that are missing, but definitions which are different. I wrote a little script to compare the files. I have attached its output. However, the definition for 'darkblue' on Linux is identical to 'blue4' on both Linux and HP-UX (0, 0, 139). Perhaps the simplest thing would be for IDLE to use 'blue4' ?
