Description:
There are some classes in the mforms library for plugin developers might need, that aren't implemented yet:

1. TextEntry has no get_color (but it has set_color). get_color would be needed to retrieve the previous color the widget had before setting a new one (which is basically determined by the platform).

Please feel free to add unimplemented methods here as needed (add comment).

How to repeat:
n.a.

2. Another issue would be to programmatically issue clicks and changes to the widgets, so that any attached callbacks are called. This would enable synchronization of widgets without the need to duplicate the callback methods call to where the components are instantiated.

Typo: "without the need to duplicate the callback methods call..." should be "without the need to duplicate the callback methods CODE..."

2nd item is already implemented, besides the add_<callback> methods there are matching call_<callback> methods. I'm just not sure the current release have them.
