I believe you can change most of these things using prefs.tcl (the main
preferences database). The problem is, though, that I don't recall adding
preferences for things like generic window background colors... You may have
to dig through srctextwin.itb, console.itb, variables.tcl, etc and find all
the Tk widgets that are created and set their background color.

Thanks for your help. I found some places to change and brougth the settings
to the prefs.tcl. Maybe I can do the setting and provide it for the source
tree.
However, thanks for the help.
