there is an extremely ridiculous hack that could be tried, *if* the guis are for display only: similar to jmmmp/pix2canvas, a group of 1x1 canvases can be used to fake an alpha channel.

But besides the condition above, the purpose of this will be mainly to show how ridiculously far Pd users will go to handle the current limitations they're bound to.

(actually, guis can be placed under the canvases to create an interaction - which will make the whole concept even more ridiculous)

That's funny, I've just recently discovered your PoF project, which you've mentioned below: https://github.com/Ant1r/ofxPof

I haven't really tried it, just skimmed through the code, but the multi-threaded rendering looks very promising and should make it much more suitable for building GUIs while simultanously running audio!

You can't display any object from another toolkit into a Pd window (aka Tk canvas).
You'd have to open another window for that.
e.g: Gem/Ofelia/Pof (through openGL) offer alpha...

    So, Tcl/Tk can't offer us an anpha channel for things like iemguis.

    But what if I want to write an external that does that? For
    cyclone, for instance, there could be an alpha channel for
    opacity/transparency, as the original ones have in Max.

    I assume I'd have to use some other language as an alternative
    and so I'd like to ask for hints on which and also if it is even
    possible (I'm rather clueless, sorry).

    I see Purr Data, which uses NW.js, offers an alpha channel, could
    I supposedly code an external that uses such a language and load
    it in Pd Vanilla? How?

    Sorry if I'm asking too basic and vague questions...

    cheers
