Alright, I've learned my lesson - don't use a
new widget; modify the old one.

Except the Entry widget doesn't have a
disabledforeground option. Neither does the
Text widget, but IDLE seems to accomplish
making a disabled Text look the same as an
enabled Text in the IDLE Help section.

No, foreground (fg) and background (bg) don't
make a difference; it still changes the color
of the Entry widget upon disabling.

There must be something I'm missing here...

Have you tried the state option ?

state = 'disabled'

It works for Text, Entry, and Button.

Once disabled you won't be able to make changes
until state= 'normal'
