Some of the themes are specially built to have a small number of colors. This may be finished when the currently included icon set 48x48-general (it may be disabled in configuration) is replaced with 48x48-infox that uses 15 colors in 84 icons. Together with mini icons (the included icon set 16x16-kde uses 44 colors in 84 icons), background, modules and other colors the default look should use no more than 100 colors. If [EMAIL PROTECTED] and NoIcon used, there are 50 colors at most. ColorLimit is not required. It is ugly to add a preprocessing code every time gradient or png used. It would be much nicer if FVWM automatically handle this if possible. Just like currently on black and white 1bpp displays all colors (at least colorsets) automatically look more or less readable, they are replaced with the predefined bitmaps.
