hi all,
I'm on Manjaro with i3wm and my Pd looks weird (#000000 text over #2B2C2B background) : https://ibb.co/MDqzr5s which makes it difficult to use... I'm sure it's due to a window manager theming because loading Pd from openbox display the usual white background.
Does anyone experience the same and know how to change the color ?
Also I tried some tcl plugins like https://svn.code.sf.net/p/pure-data/svn/trunk/scripts/guiplugins/simple_exam... but I can't figure out how to change every patcher background color.

You can modify Pd patch window background colour in X11 or Xorg by using X resources:
$ cat ~/.Xresources *PatchWindow*background: red $ xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources $ pd
Now all Pd patch windows have red background. Easy to choose your preferred colour.
You need to restart Pd for xrdb changes to take effect.
You may need to add the xrdb -merge command to your login scripts.
I tested this with XFCE4 on Debian, hopefully it works on your window manager too.

you should also remember that you did this, to avoid yet another bug-report telling that all Pd-patches have a red background and re-installing Pd didn't help :-)

Thanks Claude for pointing me to right place !
Is there a way to also change the font color ? I can't find the X ressource Pd uses to define it.
