Here's an improved version of my ubumenu button abstraction. I used 

to use Steven Kay's button in my ancient patches, and I've always 

missed the simple functionality of that (use the inspector to set the 

name of the button, and 3 outlets - 0/1, bang on down, bang on up). 

This isn't quite as good as that, but it works for me, and it might 

Save the patch as ububutton. Open it in a bpatcher with the following 

Z is 0 for toggle mode (click on,click off) and

1 forwhatsit mode (click on, auto off after delay)

The auto-off delay is currently 250ms. You can change it in the 

subpatcher, or modify the patch to add it as another argument to the 

It would be nice to have different text for each button state (like 

on - off) but doing state change with colour works too.
