Yes, definitely, I am thinking of something that combines the two,
like a black box with blue inside. I am going to play with that
more. The problem is that it's trickier to program that, hopefully
it's not too tricky.

I think some inlets take both, dsp and messages (throw~ for example). also, did you think about changing the look between edit and run mode? marius.

Color really makes things stand out, especially in a black and

communicating? A fade would stand out even more than a solid color, IMHO. What
is that fade communicating and is it more important that other
elements, like the object box, the inlets/outlets, the text in the boxes, etc.I guess just a quick way to tell which end is which. For
instance the originating end could be redder and the terminating end could be
bluer (and outlets would be red and inlets blue). Or colour saturation
could decline along the cord. It may be more useful if a mouseover made the
colours appear, otherwise everything stays black.Martin
I don't know what made me think of this from reading your post,
Martin, but it suddenly occurred to me that a good use for color would be
red (or orange, or yellow... ) for "hot" inputs to objects. I'm not
sure if it could be practically implemented without modifying the object's source, though. While for 99% of objects, it would be the left
inlet, in the exceptional cases like [timer], the visual reminder would be particularly valuable.That is a nice idea, it would be good to have on the GUI Ideas
wiki page: http://puredata.info/dev/GuiIdeas I've been playing with a color a bit in Pd-extended recently, I
think a little bit of color used judiciously can definitely make
things more readable. Here are two examples of where I think it
helps (check the inlets/outlets and the error box):
The audio inlets are colored and solid, the message inlets are
black/white box. .hcPhil Stone pkstonemusic.com
