Hi,
I customed old tcl plugins and I wrote painfully two more here :
http://reso-nance.org/public/pd-malinette/tclplugins.zip
* colors edit/action mode
* add the word "edit" or "action" when you change the mode
* menu_tree with own objects
* add your own menu
I would like to have some feedbacks and understand tcltk for Pd and
plugin mecanisms.
To improve them and go further, I have some questions :
* *Reference guide*. Is it the main resource about tclplugins :
https://puredata.info/docs/guiplugins (+ pd-gui.tcl and other *.tcl
files) ?
* *Add text to the interface*. On the mode_label plugin, the behavior
is strange, the text is superposed every time. If someone know about
it...
* *Colors themes*. I saw two pull requests about adding colors to the
interface (https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/196,
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/162). A theme.txt file
would be very easy to personnalize, or even better variables stored
inside .pdsettings, stored in a second tab. Now, tcl plugins seems
to be a good way to achieve that, but I didn't find some tricks :
o start Pd with all colors setup, not after changing modes two
times (strange behavior on the colors plugin).
o add colors to distinguish between control & audio
inlets/outlets. (like Pd-extended). Great feature for beginners.
Also gemlist types would be nice.
o add color to dashed rectangles when appears the error "couldn't
create" (like Pd-extended)
o the -fill and -activefill arguments on atoms (symbol, number)
happened when the mouse is hover the border and the text, not
hover the box. It could be really user-friendly (especially for
symbol atom) to indicate a box is interactive by changing color
of all the box when the mouse is hover. Is there a tcl argument
for that ?
* *Auto-completion* *plugin
*(https://github.com/gusano/completion-plugin). Very handy, but the
plugin does not add objects into canvas with pd048. The author does
not have time to maintained it, and I don't see where is the
problem. It is a very complex stuff (for me).
* *Add media controllers to the Pd Window*.It could be logic to use
the Pd window to hold customs media controllers : audio MASTER
volume, pan + Gem dimensions switch + Arduino controller / ... Here
a sketch of what it could be :

If someone have some ideas how to implement this.
