Colors Disappeared with latest TK/TCL update

[stef]

Hi,

The latest TK/TCL update tcl-8.6.9 and tk-8.6.9 have broken colors in ETM, I no longer get "red" for overdue tasks, etc. This is with a default colors.cfg (no changes whatsoever.)

I tried "rebuilding" etm but no changes.

Can you please look into this issue? Do you need a ticket on GH?

PS How are you doing on the GUI (Qt) project?

What version of python? Platform?

I have tcl/tk 8.6.8 with python 3.7.1 and no color issues. Since you mentioned tcl/tk 8.6.9 originally, I suppose the change from 8.6.8 to 8.6.9 is what caused the color problem. How did you install 8.6.9?

Dan,
You're correct because as soon as I downgrade to tk/tcl 8.6.8, colors work again.
Installed via my distro packaging; which is pretty standard/plain vanilla.
Might be a problem for other users as well once their distro switches to new version 8.6.9....

Well, I can’t duplicate it on my mac and it sounds like a bug in tcl/tk anyway. Maybe it will be fixed in 8.6.10.

But you have 8.6.8 so it may very well happen as well on your MAC once you upgrade to 8.6.9.
And these things are usually some significant changes in the design, etc.; more often then a bug....

I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens when you are able to upgrade to 8.6.9.....

What I meant to say is that if a change in tcl/tk from 3.6.8 to 3.6.9 breaks something in etm which itself hasn't changed, then I suspect that it is a bug in that version of tcl/tk which will probably be fixed before long. It is also probable that it is something that I cannot fix.

Hello

I have just moved to Win10, installed Python 3.7.3 and etmtk (via 'pip install emttk') and ... no colors in item list (I can change e.g. font color in all etm pop-up windows with base: foreground in colors.cfg file).

I do not know how to check Tk version that comes with Python 3.7.3 (I can see only it is 8.6).

Strange is that the problem applies only to item list. Any ideas?

On my mac, I have python 3.7.2 with TkTcl 8.6.8. The version that etm is using should be displayed in the system info (F2). I have no idea about the source of the problem and, alas, no access to Win10 to check it. 

You should have an “item:” section in colors.cfg. Here is mine:

# named 'colors.cfg' and placed in the same directory as your

# 'etm.cfg', this file will determine colors for the etm GUI.

############################################################

base:

  foreground: 'black' # default font color

  highlight: '#B2B2AF' # default highlight color

  background: '#FEFEFC' # default background color

item: # font colors for items in tree views

  ac: 'darkorchid' # action

  av: 'RoyalBlue3' # scheduled, available task

  by: 'DarkGoldenRod3' # begin by

  cs: 'RoyalBlue3' # scheduled job

  cu: 'gray65' # scheduled job with unfinished prereqs

  dl: 'gray70' # hidden (folder view)

  ds: 'darkslategray' # scheduled, delegated task

  du: 'darkslategray' # unscheduled, delegated task

  ev: 'springgreen4' # event

  fn: 'gray70' # finished task

  ib: 'coral2' # inbox

  ns: 'saddlebrown' # note

  un: 'RoyalBlue3' # unscheduled task (next)

calendar:

  date: 'RoyalBlue3' # week/month calendar dates

  grid: 'gray85' # week/month calendar grid lines

  busybar: 'RoyalBlue3' # week/month busy bars

  current: '#DCEAFC' # current date calendar background

  occasion: 'gray92' # occasion background

  conflict: '#FF3300' # conflict flag

  year_past: 'springgreen4' # calendar, past years font color

Ah, so easy :) I have Python 3.7.3 with TkTcl 8.6.9.

> You should have an “item:” section in colors.cfg.

I have one, too. I've tried to change to "easy" colors like "red" and to hexadecimal. But no change.

In Week an Month views, the "squares" in upper part have colors, the list of items does not.

My life went white and black :(

Hello

After reverting back to Python 2.7.16 (with Tk/Tcl 8.5.15), everything is back to normal.

Unfortunatelly, it seems there is no way to downgrade Tk/Tcl on Python.

Strange, the Python and Tk/Tcl upgrade had no effect on my mac. Maybe it’s a Windows feature. ;-)
