hmm, i'm a bit worried concerning the whole discussion about the pd-gui/font/appearence, since i really enjoy the way pd looks at the moment. i think the current pd-gui is very good example for a reduced look perfectly matching functionality, visualisation of different objects and design.
nevertheless i greatly recommend any possibility to customize the gui (concerning fonts, colors, shading etc..) whereas the "standard-gui" shouldn't in any way affect cpu-load and latency. this would also concern stuff like "wire-value-popups" etc.. since i don't want to lag my performance due to "accidentially" hover over a gui object or something.
anyway, one thing that would improve the pd-gui would be a better visualisation of the "wiring" (evt. as i saw on several max/msp screenshots) but that's not a must since this forces us to clean up our patches ;-)
