in macOS, newer versions of Tk are system theme aware, ie. light and dark mode. I actually disabled this on purpose so Pd always stays in "light mode" until we can integrate theme handling.
In this case, I think something similar s happening where Tk is picking up the window manager's theme and applying it to standard UI stuff such as default text color and window/widget background colors. The explicit Pd canvas stuff stays the default PD colors of course. There is an implementation in a PR right now that would be good to look at. I was planning on experimenting with it and Tks mode handling directly over the holidays but did not have time in the end. > On Feb 4, 2022, at 5:28 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Message: 5 > Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2022 20:28:32 -0800 > From: Miller Puckette <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [PD] KDE: how to change window color, too dark... > Message-ID: <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Hi Rafael - > > I don't know why the colors aren't the standard (black and white) that are > baked into > the Pd code.
