So if I well understand you are opposed to colorset options as: - IconTint colour percent / IconAlpha percent which whenever a (mini-)icon is implied in the drawn rectangle tint this (mini-)icon with "colour" at percent rate "percent" (apply the mini-icon with an additional alpha of "percent", respectively). It seems to me that a fvwm typical drawing is constituted by a background (bg, *Pixmap, *Gradient), a relief (hi/sh), a text (fg and maybe fgsh) and a (mini-)icon (or a button). So having options in colorset for (mini-)icon seems to me natural. Of course some times there are no (mini-)icon, but also some times there are no text (window buttons). There are two alternatives: (i) we do not want these new features (maybe we may choose only one, say IconTint) (ii) adding new config commands. I've no clear idea about (i) but I think that the new feature can be cool under certain situations. (ii) leads to too many new config cmd IMHO (menu style, button style, maybe a style for icon, and big number of new cmd for modules). I vote to add "IconTint colour percent" (no opinion for IconAlpha). Maybe this option have to do with the CDE xpms, but I see the CDE xpms stuff as an image format. So it seems to me that CDE xpms concerns FvwmPicture loading and not colorset (?). Olivier -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
