I've been starting to use PD for some music production work. It's going very well so far.
I have a very simple and dumb question:
is there any way to get the PD windows to be in reverse video?
My eyes are killing me. I've got all my other apps set to grey text on a black background to save my eyesight. It'd be great if there were some hack I could use to get PD windows to be in reverse video too.
My understanding is that PD uses TK, so there must be some way to do this. Unfortunately, I don't know TK well enough to know how to do this. Looking in PD docs I didn't find any mention of reversing the video in PD windows.
Thanks!

hi, you can either set it in pd.tk (color scheme) or use hcs/sys_gui to do it on the fly. marius.

sorry, the pd.tk where you can edit the color scheme easily ships with pd-extended. I think it is compatible to pd vanilla, but not sure. marius.

The vanilla pd.tk can be edited to set the canvas background colour.
At line 914:
canvas $name.c -width $width -height $height -background white
change white to something else.
You can also edit proc pdtk_text_new to get coloured text, but lines are
not changeable in vanilla unless you modify the source code in about 5
separate places.

Thanks. I went with "grey" for now. Not perfect but it's an improvement.
I'm not averse to editing the source code if you can list for me where in there I need to edit, or what to grep for.

It's currently only implemented in 0.40 extended. Check out the
canvas_name and window_name objects and their help patches.
