Besides following Derek's instructions, if what you want is to change pd colors aiming for a more confortable canvas look while programming, you can take a look into the pd.tk file. In my Xubuntu version it is found in the folder /usr/lib/pd/bin Once inside there (edit pd.tk as a text file) scroll till # color scheme. You can tweek all the colors, but remember that this is seen like you fix it _only in your machine_, and this fix works for all your patches. Best!

Hi,
Happy New Year ! :)
this is my first post to this list and I am also right at the beginning to explore PureData.
I want to use PureData as a synthesizer for sounds and I will not use the midi interface, since I have no keyboard...
I am using a up-to-date Gentoo-Linux with linux kernel 2.6.31.11. .
As a starting point I compiled and installed the vanilla-version of PureData on the system manually and it "works" (read: I was able to get a sine wave sound via alsa).
So far so nice! :)
The interface is pure black and white.
But on the net I saw wonderful colored snapshots of the interface.
Have I forgotten to install something extra, an addon for example, a plugin or...?
Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Best regards, mcc
