No, I have implemented this. Of course the solution is not perfect. I was award of the problem you point out: icon with alpha over a window (there are also small pbs with background change if you do not use an Esetroot or fvwm-root compatible programs). The only other solution I see is to implement two new style IconBackgroundColorset and HilightIconBackgroundColorset, plus a style to control the size of the background and the relief. It is on my todo list, but if one want to do it there is no problems :o) Olivier -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
