Hi Miller and other devs,
PD 0.43 has an annoying bug... He somehow capture a color from the default color theme system and applies to background color of the canvases. I use Openbox, but I have KDE installed (Arch). I reported this last year, but it seems nobody looked at it...
Happy debugging season! :-)
Cheers
Try fixing it with a GUI plugin:
So is this really a bug, or a feature?
Either way, it seems to me that users should have to write GUI plugins to make Pd have a usable background colour.
People should not have to write a plugin to have a usable background color, we agree there. But some people also heavily customize their OS's colors, or use window managers that have very different color schemes, so this is unfortunately not as simple as it seems. The canvas' background is already set to be white by default, but it seems on his computer, something is overriding that. A GUI plugin can easily override the thing that is overriding the default in pd-gui.tcl.
