Thanks, IOhannes, for the link. It's easy to get lost in old documentation.

Does anyone know if any of the instructions on http://puredata.info/docs/guiplugins are applicable to Pd 0.5+ anymore or should we update the page to show which versions of Pd are capable of using these tcl plugins?

this page refers to pd-extended (long dead), and doesn't apply to pd
(vanilla).

theres currently no way to set the colors in Pd, but there's a [196]
that tries to add this possibility.
