Something is wrong with Tint after this commit.
Without any config do:
Colorset 5 fg white, bg average, TiledPixmap any-image
MenuStyle * MenuColorset 5
Menu looks ok. Now:
Colorset 5 fg white, bg average, TiledPixmap any-image, Tint yellow 30
Menu looks flat. Execute the first line without Tint, it is flat forever.
This behaviour "Tint makes a colorset flat forever" is not just in menus.

Mikhael.
