[PD] background color of instances of abstraction
Hi Is it possible (for reasons of visual feedback) to change the background color of one instance of an abstraction? It's an abstraction where only one instance is active at the time, so I'd like to change the background color of the active one. Is obviously should be done programatically from pd... -- peace, love harmony Atte http://atte.dk | http://myspace.com/attejensen http://anagrammer.dk | http://modlys.dk ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] background color of instances of abstraction
Yeah, you could probably use the float value of $0 to generate the color. .hc On Jul 17, 2008, at 1:18 PM, marius schebella wrote: hi, either put a canvas in the background and change it via send/ receive or use sys_gui in combination with hcs/canvas_name which lets you change the font/bg colors of your patch dynamically. marius.
