yeah, that can be isolated. I just copied it from the help patches of the  
GUIs. This small patch (which does nothing) can also be helpful to someone  
who wants a quick reference to the simple colors of pd.

ok, It can be easily reduced. funny, the last time someone comented that  
the sliders were too thin. my screen is 1400x1050, so I never thought  
about that - it's also faster to use it when it's bigger.

It would be good to test-drive it intensively. I think it should work  
fine, but one never knows.

What I couldn't do is prevent it from sending empty or illegal symbols,  
like "123". Or didn't work enough in it yet. When it was only for one GUI  
(canvas) I had a part where it would be possible to import parameters from  
a text file, but then I took it out, it would be too much trouble to make  
it compatible with all GUIs (or would delay it a couple of months, if I  
worked on the same rate).
