thanks for your reply and letting us know what you think. We planed to make incremental changes anyway, so it should work quite well with making patches for vanilla. > A couple of details.

Breaking down u_main.tk sounds like a good idea. Perhaps we could discuss on the possible ways to do it so we can experiment a little while the new features are being completed. what do you think? cheers chun > > cheers > Miller > > > On Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 05:32:59PM +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> Hi all: >> >> Hope you are all well:) >> >> Some of us have been toying with the idea of working on the gui code >> (u_main.tk/pd.tk only, leaving the C code untouched) of Pd for a little >> while now.
