Re: Advice request for developers

Hi Gabriel-

Pd mostly just uses black text and line segments on a white background.  
To customize the black "foreground" color you can search for the string 
"black" in the pd source ('src' subdirectory), replace it with something 
else, and recompile.  To change the white background, go to the "tcl" 
subdirectory instead and search for the string "white", again changing 
it as needed - no recompile needed in this case since it's all 
interpreted scripts.

(I have it on my 0.56 list to make these two, plus the selection color 
(blue) configurable - but I've got a lot of other stuff queued up too so 
this won't happen for a while).

cheers
Miller
