hi list,

I wanna change the background color of Pd. The default is white, but I wanna change it to black, and font color to white. (invert color for my eyes)

First attempt: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2006-11/044399.html

9 years old, things have changed a lot.

I've read this, but there is no *pd.tk*, neither *u_main.tk* in src.

Second attempt: In pd-gui.tcl file, I change this white to black. But no luck. option add *PatchWindow*Canvas.background "white" startupFile

the way to go these days is by using a gui-plugin, rather than modifying the source-code.

e.g. here's a simple example that does something similar to what you want:
