I thought you meant the 'src' folder that comes with the Pd application.

But I also got confused, as I thought 'tcl' files were there, but they're
not, they're in a separate 'tcl' folder.

And I actually already know you can edit at least the background color by
editing pd-gui.tcl, for instance, by adding something like this to the end
of the file.

option add *PatchWindow*Canvas.background #bbbbbb

I was having trouble, though, trying to find the other parameters to also
change font/cord colors and stuff. But I'm assuming now it ain't possible.

I also believed it was possible to just edit the code or write a plugin for
Vanilla because I saw these themes for Pd Extended
https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/8555/gui-objects-and-color-scheme -
which I tried but didn't work in Vanilla, of course.

cheers
