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

Hello!
This is my condition: I'm visually impaired so I'm determined to learn how to code in order to make Pure Data accessible to my (and maybe others) needs. Hacking into stuff to adapt them to my condition is not something new to me, but I'm not a programmer, meaning I can not write something from scratch but I usually can snoop around the source code and find what I need to change.
Now my question: I'm under the impression that C would be the way to go, but I would like to receive input from developers that can advise me what is the best learning path in order to reach my goal, which is first to be able to build Pd from source with the "right" colors and then some...
Note: I know about Pd Next and other solutions that deal with Pd's GUI limitations but as my sight condition is very specific, so are my needs.
Thanks!
