iirc, it won't allow you to change the boldness of lines, if that's also desired.
I'm personally happy with the colours as they are, but there are obviously reasons beyond aesthetics to want a different colour set (and also to be able to be able to visually distinguish between different elements: so one colour to rule them all might not be enough)

Even having the most basic dark mode which swaps the black and white elements would be a huge usability improvement – more often than not, my music making takes place in low lighting scenarios, where it’s various degrees of unpleasant to become a deer in headlights whenever I have Pd up.
I seem to remember playing with that old PR, and something more configurable like that would be even better, of course.
Many thanks to everyone who’s made efforts in this direction!
