These three closely related patches build on https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1835.git.1733767737.gitgitgadget@gmail.com to:
1. also allow changing text wrapping preferences for users that do not use
themed Tk (that is, users that have turned the "use themed widgets"
preference off);
2. no longer change the background color when using themed Tk (the default)
as - at least on the platforms I tried - most widgets and the main
window do not change their background color anyhow, whereas some widgets
do, leading to a messy looking UI where different widgets seemingly
assume different background colors; and
3. use the now-available uicolor preference to draw a "sash" (grab handle)
between the many panes of the main window when using themed Tk; on the
platforms I tried, themed Tk was both the default and it was not
rendering any sash, thus requiring users to guess where to click to
resize window panes. Manually setting uicolor to a platform-dependent
color (see https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl/TkCmd/colors.htm#M4) in the
config file works to get sashes that automatically adapt to light mode
and dark mode.Christoph Sommer (3): gitk: fix text wrapping preferences for unthemed tk gitk: do not set fg/bg color scheme for themed Tk gitk: on themed tk, use uicolor to draw a sash between panes
