Hi there,

For pedagogical purpose, I would like to activate magic glass by default in my patch through an abstraction.

I know [hcs/sys_gui] can do it if I send the message [menu_magicglass 1( but it works only for the focused windows. So how to tell another windows to turn magic glass using maybe the [windows_name] object?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Here's a Tcl plugin that let's you do that. Send [global_magicglass 1( to [hcs/sys_gui] to turn it on for all patches/subpatches (an argument of 0 will turn them all off). You can also toggle them using Ctl+Shift+G (or Cmd+Shift+G), though keep in mind it only remembers the state for this global command and ignores the state set for individual windows by the default one in the menu.

I'd make a menu option for this, but I'm still pretty rough around the edges when it comes to this Tcl/Tk stuff.

Thanks, the solution worked well.

I guess there is no solution to make it without use of an extra plugin?
