yeah, I'm often surprised to learn how things aren't as simple as I assumed they'd be. Well, it seems this is a problem that needs further discussing. 

Yeah, somehow Pd Extended worked fine, Purr Data also inherited that and is consistent, and it always seemed that vanilla was the same to me cause I'm on a Mac. I was also surprised to learn things were different in linux/windows.

I'd also consider an improvement if things would look consistent between platforms on vanilla, but as it is, it seems Windows is not taken care yet, so I don't see much advantage at all as of now, as you're not making everything consistent and you're also compromising how things look on the mac...

And in the end, I just hope we map the issues of how and why it can't work as extended/purr data, before settling down to a different aesthetics.

Anyway, the same topic is in discussion in the dev list, and it seems this PR will be left out of the new release, until we could discuss this better and stuff.

cheers
