@Ice-Ice Hi! What version of plugdata are you using? For me on plugdata v0.8.0 (macOS), the color and width messages to arrays seem to work.

PlugData: Pure Data with a JUCE GUI, as audio plugin or standalone

Hi @timothyschoen! I was on 0.7.1, didn't know 0.8 was out. Just downloaded it and now it all works. Thanks a lot!
However, there are 2 things:
I had to add all downloaded externals to Paths again. That is, they were still in the original folders, but I had to add them manually in the Paths menu. Is there a way for future installers so they retain the data for Paths from an earlier installation when updating? Or how can I preserve this manually when the next update comes?I can't create objects from the Objects Browser. The objects are highlighted when hovering the mouse over them, but they don't react to mouse clicks or pressing Return. No biggie as I usually just use shortcuts.
I love this project by the way! It brought me back to pd after a year in Max.

@Ice-Ice Yeah, that's unfortunately expected. In this update we moved the plugdata folder from an OS specific path to the user documents folder. This makes it easier to find, or to explain where it is. I also wanted to have a clean start, because we saw some issues with people using plugdata since the early days, where their settings file had gone through a load of updates, and contained a lot of old trash.
The new add menu only allows drag and drop, no clicking. This has caused confusing for more people, so next version you will also be able to click them.
And nice to hear! I also came from Max, but I wanted to work in a DAW of my own choice
