Check out http://crca.ucsd.edu/~jsarlo/gripd/ - a GTK-based GUI builder for Pd. You don't have to run Pd's GUI at all. And the graphics are much much faster.

Has anyone on this list seen or created a graphical interface that sends messages to PD using an external GUI toolkit? While the TCL/TK style is functional, it's not exactly "modern" as far as GUIs come. I was looking at wxWindows, since it already supports all of PD's target platforms:
http://wxwindows.sourceforge.net/ http://wxwindows.sourceforge.net/screen03.htm
I have no practical experience with this kind of programming, but I think using PD for only DSP and writing the C++ GUI code to pass messages to PD via the [netreceive] object could open up some amazing user interface possibilities (pull down menus, for one). Obviously it won't be realtime box/patchcord style and each GUI will have to be custom built, but it's an idea...
