The Kzrysztof's toxy objects could definitely do this, they can control any aspect of the GUI which some basic Tcl commands.
They are in CVS, the MacOS X installer, and here:

They actually are quite amazing, you can contrrol any aspect of Pd's GUI with them, and do other really cool things. I've almost finished what i call 'xp4pd', short for extreme programming for Pd. It consists of a client and a server, and multiple people can edit the same patch in realtime. That patch will run locally on each machine, only the control data is going over the network, so it should be quite responsive.

I find the large white expanse of Pd on my CRT rather hard on my eyes.
Is there a way to make Pd render in white with a black background instead of in black with a white background?
Even better would be to make Pd use the colours defined in the OS preferences.
I'm using Windows and have most applications I use set up to render in white with a black background, it would be great to have Pd able to do this too.
