Hans (and others),
Attached is teh GUI rewrite I did this summer which also ports existing GUI into the tcl/tk 8.5 with following features:
- code setup so that the 8.4 systems remain unaffected (this has not
been fully tested) 2) new linux theme built on clam theme (not sure if this is its right name) 3) easy altering of the color scheme (see top of the script, currently configured to use Ubuntu human) 4) all Pd widgets ported to 8.5 5) new color picker widget for Linux (as tcl/tk has only 8.4 version of it so it makes it look ultra-ugly in comparison with others) with color saving options 6) other widget/style clean-up to make it more consistent 7) pd opens in minimial form (console closed) for performance mode 8) added console clean button (when in expanded view) 9) bunch of error-checking and bug-fixes (e.g. windows closing when done etc.)
Needless to mention this thing looks a lot nicer to my eyes than the old version. Finally, my apologies for not forward you this sooner (blame it on summer vacation and then beginning of a new semester if you like :-)
Let me know if you have any questions.

Sounds like good stuff. I tried it on Mac OS X using Pd-extended
0.41.4, there are some ttk:style statements not wrapped in the Tcl/Tk
8.5 test around line 414, so that caused problems with 8.4. On Mac OS
X, the font is a bit weird and others things are too. That's the pain
of cross-platform programming...
Anyway, I think the way forward is for you to adapt your changes to
the new GUI code. You could either do it as 'diff' patches or I think
it would be possible to make it a plugin so you can only worry about a
single platform.
Here's more info that, if you look in the pd/startup/disabled folder
you can see an example called 'gtklook.tcl' which uses the 'option'
system to mess with the look:
