I usually want a fairly tight size for a patch in Presentation mode, 

but a big window during patching. Changing between these two sizes 

gets tedious. Cycling '74 use a cool technique in some of the Extras 

to manage various attributes of window size and modes. I adapted this

I was wondering if it would be possible to use different color sets for edit and presentation mode. For example use the default max5 colors in edit mode, but a different set with dark background and brightly colored interface objects for the presentation mode.

I know patcher background can be set to a different color and individual objects can be customized, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to define two different sets of colors in Object defaults?

Not that I know of right now. Maybe with a future Max.

I would also like to be able to tell if a patcher window is in 

presentation mode, so I can set the toggle appropriately.

Thanks Chris. This is exactly what I was looking for. I adapted the code to use keyboard shortcuts instead of clicking on a toggle. The shortcuts are "option + p" to toggle between presentation and edit mode and "option + s" to set the current window size. Thanks for the patch.

Did i overlook something or is the way max 5 patches posted are totally different. Regardless, i can't open these patches like i used to back in the day of 4.6

Max 5.0.1 added support for a new compressed clipboard style. There is 

now a "Copy Compressed" command in the edit menu which puts the 

compressed representation onto the clipboard. New from Clipboard knows

now a "Copy Compressed" command in the edit menu which puts the  
compressed representation onto the clipboard. New from Clipboard knows  
how to deal with the compressed format.
