the look of pd-extended : light greyed objects, text running out of objects, lack of synoptic overview - is that definite ? can i configure it that it looks the old way ?

In pd/bin/pd.tk around line 87 you have these lines:
# color scheme set canvas_fill "white" set text_color "#000" set select_color "#00f" set dash_outline "#f00" set dash_fill "#f7f7f7" set box_outline "#ccc" puts stdout "box_outline $box_outline" puts stdout "current namespace is [namespace current]" puts stdout "namespace children [namespace children]" set graph_outline "#777" set atom_box_fill "#eee" set msg_box_fill "#f8f8f6" set obj_box_fill "#f6f8f8" set signal_cord_highlight "#58a" set signal_cord "#558" set signal_nlet $signal_cord set msg_cord_highlight "#474" set msg_cord "#565" set msg_nlet "white" set mixed_nlet "#88aaff"
You can change the colours, for example by setting box_outline "black" or "#000" instead of "#ccc". None of this works in the MSW version for some reason, probably because tcl/tk on MSWindows is not the full package. Variables defined in pd.tk are not recognized when accessed from pd in Windows, although the variables accessed from procs inside pd.tk are.
