[PD] GUI external with alpha channel (tcl/tk alternative)?

hmmm, it's kind of a bummer not running such things natively in a Pd patch
window (aka Tk canvas), for instance, I couldn't do a cyclone/scope~
propely just like Max's... it'd need to be in the patch window...

But at least, as far as building awesome interfaces goes, I assume such
projects like these (Ofelia/Pof) can offer a window just for "awesome",
"beautiful", fully functional interface windows for controlling the patch
and visualising data, right? I mean, transcending all the limitations of
tcl/tk, with alpha channels and what not...
