In this case, I think something similar s happening where Tk is picking up the window manager's theme and applying it to standard UI stuff such as default text color and window/widget background colors. The explicit Pd canvas stuff stays the default PD colors of course.
There is an implementation in a PR right now that would be good to look at. I was planning on experimenting with it and Tks mode handling directly over the holidays but did not have time in the end.

Pd should be ignoring the theme setting on your desktop.Just for a test, can you see if the colors change when you change your theme?cheersMillerOn Tue, Feb 01, 2022 at 09:50:42PM +0100, rafael.raccuia@blindekinder.com wrote:Hi,
I'm on KDE, the main theme is Breeze. Most apps are ok, but PD is too dark,
with few contrast (black on dark grey), and I cant know if checkboxes are
checked or not (light grey on white).
I use PD 0.50.
How can I change the colors?
thank you!
