gitk: small quality of life improvements for themed Tk
cover gitk: small quality of life improvements for themed Tk
These three closely related patches build on
https://lore.kernel.org/git/[email protected]
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.

PATCH 2/3 gitk: do not set fg/bg color scheme for themed Tk
In reply to Christoph Sommer via GitGitGadgetFrom: Christoph Sommer <[email protected]>
Ignore the uicolor preference not just for win32, but also whenever themed Tk is used. On themed Tk it was frequently only changing the background of only a few select widgets rather than everything - and the default uicolor was frequently not the background color that themed Tk used for its widgets, resulting in a messy looking UI (mostly light gray, with random widgets surrounded by darker gray borders)

PATCH 3/3 gitk: on themed tk, use uicolor to draw a sash between panes
In reply to Christoph Sommer via GitGitGadgetFrom: Christoph Sommer <[email protected]>
Add a custom sash (grab/resize handle) where the window is split into panes when using themed Tk as. Other than native Tk which draws sashes by default, themed Tk does not, by default, render such handles leaving users to guess where to click to start resizing window panes. The color used for drawing these is uicolor, which is not needed on themed Tk, allowing the user to make these elements as pronounced or as invisible as desired.
