- which font are you using? it looks a bit strange'

The entire dialog, or just the headings?  I hard-coded some font for the headings just to get them
to be bold-- that's something I'll change now that I can test it on all platforms.

Actually I meant the patch. Your windows looked quite good. Maybe another vanilla issue.



- I guess autopatching is always on? didn't find a switch for it

On Vanilla, yes.

ah, ok. I personally don't find it a good idea to force autopatch on the user, but I don't use vanilla.


And then another preferences menu in Edit. I don't know anything of menu design, but why not:
  - add the path and startup sections to the preferences window

I think those sections are deprecated in Pd-extended.  Not sure about Pd-l2ork, Vanilla...

the path window is still on 043-4 ext


- the GUI profile is a very nice idea, I've been doing it for years with Hans' commands. If you want, adding font+size would make it complete.

You mean the font dialog/ font "bomb"?  I think that's per canvas, no?

the usual font dialog seems to affect a whole patch.


- are there any patches you would need to test specific parts of your work? I might be able to help with that, since I can't program C or tcl/tk

A patch with all the iemguis, text, object boxes, and message boxes is sufficient to test the GUI settings.  For the others, if you try to do normal audio/midi work and let me know if you hit a snag.

ok, although I don't program for vanilla. my normal patches will surely run into problems with this version.
