New submission from Kristoffer Law <k...@kslaw.me>:

IDLE utilizes the foreground text color from KDE/Qt (Window Text) for the 
autocomplete and calltip windows. If a dark theme is selected and the window 
text changed to white or another bright color, it can be difficult or 
impossible to see due to lack of contrast. There does not appear to be any way 
to change these particular windows text or background color settings from 
IDLE's configuration.

Modifying the variables under line 192 in autocomplete_w.py (bg="white") and 
line 83 in calltip_w.py (background="#ffffe0") allows these windows to change 
background colors.

Perhaps add these as settings in IDLE's config? Or force the foreground color 
to always be black?

Python 3.7.2
GCC 8.2.1

KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0
Qt Version: 5.12.1

(This is my first bug submission ever, so if I missed something obvious, I 
apologize in advance)
