[PD] Installing PD on Linux: Addons? Colors? Interface?

[Fernando Gadea]

Besides following Derek's instructions, if what you want is to change pd 
colors aiming for a more confortable canvas look while programming, you 
can take a look into the pd.tk file. In my Xubuntu version it is found 
in the folder /usr/lib/pd/bin
Once inside there (edit pd.tk as a text file) scroll till # color 
scheme. You can tweek all the colors, but remember that this is seen 
like you fix it _only in your machine_, and this fix works for all your 
patches.
Best!
