One (hard) aspect of GUI design in case of Pd is that the GUI widgets are provided by Tcl/Tk at the moment, which does not allow for such kind of skinning, afaik.<br>

Tcl/Tk up to 8.4 allow some amount of configuration... at least much more than has ever been used by anyone in <a href="http://pd.tk" target="_blank">pd.tk</a>.<br>

Tcl/Tk introduced the TkTile toolkit, for which I've heard that the big new feature is that you can skin it. I haven't tried it myself. Meanwhile, I'm using Pd-Extended with Tcl/Tk 8.5 while, officially, this very same version of Pd-Extended is said to "not support" Tcl/Tk 8.5. On top of that, Miller still wants to support Tcl/Tk 8.3 for some upcoming releases, and such things that were already becoming obsolete in 2003.<div class="im">

There has been talk, however, about migrating to another GUI toolkit.<br>
