Hi all,

that's what I wanted for a recent project, and attached is one possible solution I found.
In practise, by using canvas labels (and list2symbol from zexy)
you can get numbers in GUIs without using number boxes, looking OK within "graph-on-parent".
See attached patch (slide_me), using pd extended fonts for canvas labels.
By the way, I noticed that one font (Deja Vu Sans Mono) is looking quite differently in
windows w.r.t. Linux (more "pixellosity")
Any other solutions like this?

Woops, forgot the attachment (and for some reason I still got errors when uploading), so the patch is
here

yeah, i also use that alot. btw, if you combin the $1 in the message with characters or something, you don't need the list2symbol conversion - for example [; canvas_receive label $1_ms(
i couldn't figure out a better alternative yet.

What's also nice about this is with [list2symbol] you can create labels with spaces in them instead of those annoying underscores that get forced in when you use the properties dialog. Just make sure you don't save the patch without clearing out the label first, because all of the object's properties will be lost and you won't be able to access them!
