Basic Theme not retained in Text widget

[Crystz99]

txt = Text(frme, background = '#000000', foreground = '#ffffff' ,font="Consolas 12 bold")
txt.pack(fill = BOTH)

Hi,
I tried running the above piece of code with ttkbootstrap themes but the bg/fg/font selected to the text is not applied on the final tkinter window, its still the same basic settings. This used to work fine in ttkbootstrap_v < 1.0.0.0, but in later versions Im facing this issue. Any fix for this...??

Thanks in advance.

@Crystz99, yes, you are correct. In ttkbootstrap 1.0, there is a default style applied to tk widgets. There is a publisher that tracks the legacy tk widgets and ensures that whenever the theme is changed or updated, a default style is applied to all those legacy widgets. This is the intended behavior, however, I can see how it could potentially be annoying if you wanted to update a legacy widget.

A temporary hack you can use now is to unsubscribe the widget from the Publisher and then configure the style settings.

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.constants import *
from ttkbootstrap.publisher import Publisher

app = ttk.Window()

txt = ttk.Text()
txt.pack(fill = BOTH)

# get the widget name
widget_name = str(txt)

# unsubscribe the name from Published update events
Publisher.unsubscribe(widget_name)

# configure the widget style
txt.configure(background = '#000000', foreground = '#ffffff', font="Consolas 12 bold")

app.mainloop()

A potential long-term solution may be to add a themed parameter that would prevent the widget from getting registered with the Publisher.
