    I noticed there was a white bar to the left in my IDLE when I upgraded to 3.10, it stuck out like a soar thumb since I have a custom dark theme. This was not an issue with earlier versions. After scouring through the code I found the perpetrator to be a "padx=2" in sidebar.py on line 457. Changing this value from "2" to "0" fixes this issue.

    Changing this line of code solves this issue and leaves the color choices up to the user, as intended.
