Hello, Recently I moved my patch to Vanilla since I was not using any Extended externals. A consequence was that I am not able anymore to change the interfaz colours in order to work with a low contrast screen by tweaking the pd.tk file. Is there a way to modify colours in Vanilla? This is just for my own use. I often get headache when looking for hours to a white screen (it makes me frown constantly). Those who see my patch in their machines they do so white with black lines with no problem. Thank you
In vanilla 0.43, you can do it with a GUI plugin, like this one:

Pd-extended is not only about the externals : there are several extra features in it, that you won't find in vanilla.
Actually, it's also possible to run pd-extended without the bundled externals... if you are short on space, you can delete lots of folders in it.

Btw, have you also tried changing the brightness & contrast of your monitor(s) ? The white does not have to be flooding you...
I also tend to very much like bright-on-dark, but nowadays I also use dark-on-bright in equal amounts... it's not as bad as used to believe.

Thank you for the tip. I'm not really short on space. I 've made a Puredyne installment and I am giving the already installed and configured version of Pd a try.

Yes, that's a possible solution, but it turns into a problem sometimes when I work with graphics at the same time, but I will follow your advice whenever I can if I don't find a way to colour the background. Thank you.
