On recent versions of macOS (sometime between Catalina and Sonoma 14.5), the default Hovertip foreground color changed from black to white, thereby matching the background. This might be a matter of matching the white foreground of the dark-mode text. The unreadable result is shown here (GH-120083 (comment)).

The foreground and background colors were made parameters so we can pass different colors for future additional hovertips in IDLE.

(cherry picked from commit 5a7f7c4)

Thank you for merging. This was the most important backport. Another bugfix I hoped to do is not ready yet.
