[PD] gui-plugins

[Rob Bothof]

thanks,

would it be possible to change the color a cord has when connecting one 
object to another ?

for the gui objects like bang, toggle slider etc i've come up with an 
approach of which i'm wondering if it would work to some extend through
making changes to the put-menu.
i've traced the tcl menu, to put for example a toggle in the patch, it 
sends the command: pdsend $window "toggle"

would it be possible to supply creation arguments for the objects here ?

regards,
Rob
