either put a canvas in the background and change it via send/receive
This seems like an easy thing, but I get "cnv: no method for 'float'". What message could I send to a canvas to make it red?
you have to send a message like "color 16" to the canvas, for details have a look at the helpfile for canvas (see the subpatch pd edit).
or use sys_gui in combination with hcs/canvas_name which lets you change the font/bg colors of your patch dynamically.
That won't do. It seems that the background color of a patch set this way, won't "shine through" to a parent. So since I'm trying to make is visible which of several instances of the same abstraction is currently running, this seems not to be what I need...
to bad, you are right. background colors are not working with Graph on parent. I guess that is a bug, sorry,
