If you dislike vanilla appearance of Pd on Linux as much as I do, please try
the pd.tk file I sent out sometime last week on this list and report any
bugs. Hans has pointed a few that affect other platforms (this one was
designed to provide minimal changes while making GUI more 21st century and
without affecting Windows or OSX, apart from the few reported bugs) but
other than that it appears rock solid here. Bear in mind that it does
require tcl/tk 8.5 with antialiasing enabled.

I'm trying to try it...

Now is there another way than putting it where my pd install is? Right now it doesn't seem to find pd.
Thanks, Andras

You should rename that into pd.tk and then copy it into the Pd’s bin directory (e.g. /usr/lib/pd/bin/ or /usr/local/lib/pd/bin/). You should also back-up the old version of pd.tk that resides in those folders before overwriting it in case you end-up not liking this version.

Hope this helps!

Best wishes,
