The pr should be good to go, maybe it should be consolidated it into fewer commits and some whitespace issues could be fixed but other than that I think all of the requested changes have been made..In order to set the array element colors there had to be some odd workaround in g_templateand g_array (setting the scalar color to a negative value will use the set tcl variable) But I think if you want system colors you might be able to set them from tcl variables that correspond to system themes. Idk that much about x11 but on aqua and windows there are colors like systemHighlight that correspond to system theme colors. I think on x11 the way to do it might be through setting .Xresources/.Xdefaults and xrdb, then perhaps you can get the tcl color variables by getting the option? (with the tk "option get" command) basically, if there is a way to get system colors stored in some system config/theme file/database from within tk then we can do that within the tcl-plugin file that we're using to set the color variables anyways. -seb -----Original Message----- From: Andre Osku Schmidt <an...@osku.de> To: pd-list@lists.iem.at Sent: Sat, Jan 2, 2021 3:17 pm Subject: Re: [PD] theme all the things
