You may also change background to other colours by adding this kind of
line to ~/.pd.tk :

set look(canvasbgrun)  #ddddff
set look(canvasbgedit) #ffffdd

I think that white objectboxes on nonwhite background (or equivalent
contrast) is important so that objectboxes stand out a bit, and especially
when editing, so it's killing two birds with one stone... but I'm an ex
jMax user, too.
