True.
OK, I have never coded Pd externals so I made a fool of myself by only taking a brief look at toddle.c file and reasoning by example. Simply was not aware of A_GIMME atomtype.
sorry, sorry,

ja,ja
- i really did not remember the correct invocation of the "toddler" (my
fault of course) 2. but since you can check the type of atoms that are passed (e.g. check whether there are 2 symbols and 2 floats) you can always take [the one symbol to be "active colour"] vs [the first of 2 symbols to be background and the second to be foreground], regardless where the floats are passed. 3. this is what you might call "tricky" (of course it is not, but mykes the code a little bit more unreadable)
