Brilliant! That works perfectly. I might look into having a slight change in color when entering Edit Mode. Would be great for navigating subpatch windows and knowing which ones are locked or not. No experience with tcl commands here.

like this "mybackground-plugin.tcl"?

```
bind PatchWindow <Configure> "+%W.c configure -background yellow"
```

this adds a hook, so that whenever a PatchWindow is updated (that is:
created, or moved around,...), it will re-configure the background
property to your liking.
