Thats what i was getting at Frank, I've opened your Pd7 and other externels the first time I used pd and said, huh, (clicking on all available boxes), say compared to Reactor where its much more intuitive.
Ah well, the pdx7 is a very bad example because it's a very bad patch viewed from now. But still quite okay for a first try at using Pd. Ergonomically it's a desaster. But the IEMGUI elements were not a part of Pd then.
And yes my comment is in the line that I think that our instruments should look nice, a good gui can put me in a creative frame of mind. But then again, I think that colorized syntax in xemacs looks good?!?
Syntax highlighting is a good example of how simple measures can have quite an impact. Sliders, radio buttons and toggles are the equivalent in Pd.
