Thanks for the suggestion. I have considered this, but I really don't like the little triangle in the corner, and the space it takes up. Besides, I'm equally concerned with the symbol atom, for which there is no alternative object.</div>

<div class="PlainText">just a thought here:<br>
<br>
what about using [number2] instead of PD's native number atom in a GOP ?<br>
<br>
i was recently in a situation where i worked with my own objects on a <br>
different platform (OSX) and the patches DID look a little different, <br>
but my GOPs (which only use [number2] were consistent.<br>
<br>
i know that also [number2] size depends upon the selected font <br>
renderings, but i had the feeling it's a little more stable<br>
<br>
