Hi Johnathan, and list.

Thank you for your reply.

I've checked the code for some of the sys_vgui calls by comparing vanilla ones with the one of extended.
It seems that the code is the same.

For example, the g_numberbox.c use sys_vgui call to draw the rectangle and text, but on vanilla and extended is the very same code:

sys_vgui(
    ".x%lx.c create line %d %d %d %d %d %d -fill #%6.6x -tags %lxBASE2\n",
    canvas, xpos, ypos,
    xpos + half, ypos + half,
    xpos, ypos + x->x_gui.x_h,
    x->x_gui.x_fcol, x);
sys_vgui(".x%lx.c create text %d %d -text {%s} -anchor w \
    -font {{%s} -%d %s} -fill #%6.6x -tags [list %lxLABEL label text]\n",
    canvas, xpos+x->x_gui.x_ldx, ypos+x->x_gui.x_ldy,
    strcmp(x->x_gui.x_lab->s_name, "empty")?x->x_gui.x_lab->s_name:"",
    x->x_gui.x_font, x->x_gui.x_fontsize, sys_fontweight,
    x->x_gui.x_lcol, x);

I think that the -fill parameter is the one responsible of the color, but is the same both for vanilla and extended.

I've also checked the code in s_intern.c (the place where sys_vgui is defined), and there are no difference between vanilla and extended.

Any idea?

Thank you

Alessio

It's been awhile sinceI looked, but I _think_ Pd-extended also refers to those tcl variables in the sys_vgui code on the C side.  So the sys_vgui string responsible for, say, creating a rectangle on a canvas will give it the outline color of "$::box_outline".

Check g_text.c and the iemgui code for sys_vgui statements.  I think in many cases Pd Vanilla simply doesn't specify the colors, so the box and xlets default to black.

Btw-- Pd-l2ork has a little gui dialog where you can choose different presets, or even define your own color schemes.

Hi list,

I would like to try to change pd-vanilla patch rendering in order to
obtain something like pd-extended rendering.

I've cloned the latest pd-vanilla GIT repo and I've started to look at
the src in order to figure out how to do that.
After some search, it seems that all what I need is in the tcl stuff.
I've googled it and it seems that I'm right, or am I wrong?? (perhaps
I've should start from here :D ).

First of all, I've tested the build procedure. It was ok. I've tested
pd-vanilla *without installing it*:
cd src
./pd

I've got an error: " ... pd-gui.tcl": no such file or directory. I've
resolved:
cd src
ln -s ../tcl

Now, pd works.

Then, I've tried to modify some simple elements in order to check if I
can see the effect. I've added some stuff in the "init_for_platform" {}

Here is the stuff that I've added:

    # color scheme
    set ::canvas_fill "#303030"
    set ::text_color "#ff0000"
    set ::select_color "#ff7200"
    set ::dash_outline "#008800"
    set ::dash_fill "#000055"
    set ::box_outline "#888888"
    set ::graph_outline "#888888"
    set ::atom_box_fill "#555555"
    set ::msg_box_fill "#555555"
    set ::obj_box_fill "#550000"
    set ::signal_cord_highlight "#fff600"
    #set ::signal_cord "#00868a"
    #set ::signal_nlet $signal_cord
    set ::msg_cord_highlight "#fff600"
    set ::msg_cord "#ff3e8a"
    set ::msg_nlet "#ff3e8a"
    set :mixed_nlet "#88aaff"

But when I stat pd, it seems that this modification has no effect.

What I've missed?

Thank you

Alessio
