Hi
Is it possible (for reasons of visual feedback) to change the background color of one instance of an abstraction? It's an abstraction where only one instance is active at the time, so I'd like to change the background color of the active one. Is obviously should be done programatically from pd...
hi, either put a canvas in the background and change it via send/receive or use sys_gui in combination with hcs/canvas_name which lets you change the font/bg colors of your patch dynamically. marius.

Yeah, you could probably use the float value of $0 to generate the
color.

This seems like an easy thing, but I get "cnv: no method for 'float'". What message could I send to a canvas to make it red?

That won't do. It seems that the background color of a patch set this way, won't "shine through" to a parent. So since I'm trying to make is visible which of several instances of the same abstraction is currently running, this seems not to be what I need...
Here a patch that use the easiest way to change the color of the
canvas and to get it red.
You can access of all settings with a 'help' on the canvas.

you have to send a message like "color 16" to the canvas, for details have a look at the helpfile for canvas (see the subpatch pd edit).

to bad, you are right. background colors are not working with Graph on parent. I guess that is a bug, sorry,
marius.
