The secret is that I forgot to check in the file, sorry... the bonus is I added another example, you can disable the resizing of your patch:

Hey Hans

I'm _dying_to try this, but can't figure out how to access it. Are there
new commands for the themer patch? Or am I (like usual) just missing
what's right in front of me?

In my opinion, this is not _stupid_ GUI tricks at all...

Being asked on the differences between Pd and Max/MSP, how many times have I answered starting with "The GUI in pd isn't really as cool and smart as it is in Max/MSP but the DSP capabilities are in the end very
similar".

My answer to the lack of GUI elegance is very often a salad of
overlaying [cnv]'s to make patches look more attractive and thus very
often more readable.

This kind of effort is not stupid, it is great GUI improvement in my
opinion.

Another off-thread thing : I'm really looking forward to the day pd
will not suffer that much from its GUI implementation : simple slider or table visualization/monitoring sometimes being the main reason for a ultra complex DSP patch to bo so heavy on the computer/ resources ! (-:

Ok, all this Tcl/Tk has started to rot my brain, so here are some
stupid GUI tricks:

- change patch background colors in a patch!
- make your patches transparent!
- use lots of Tcl/Tk config options!

Works on my machine :D and hopefully tomorrow's auto-builds...
