Marc Paul Rubin added the comment: Greetings from an idle-dev 'lurker.' Has anyone tested the new dark theme with a Set Breakpoint command? The dark theme is great for me except for this quirk: breakpoints are invisible on my test box. Under the Classic light scheme breakpoints appear on a

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: For me, Idle comes with one light theme, under 2 names. I don't know what happens on Mac. Let us add one dark theme as Idle Dark, before 3.4.4 if possible. We can later consider whether to add more light and dark built-in themes. But I think more important
