Hi,
already for a while now (I think it started shortly after 2.5.15)
the specification of a foreground color for a window (something
like Style * Color red/green or ForeColor red) has been
silently ignored.
That is strange. I have my config working perfectly with ForeColor
etc. (fvwm cvs)
Are these commands obsoleted by the newer colorset stuff and only
the documentation not yet adjusted or is it just a bug (background
is still honored). Is there a simple workaround?
You should be using Colorsets regardless in 2.5.X -- deprecation of
{Fore,Back}Color is definitely on the cards, and has been for a while.
Then I guess there should be at least some note in the manual page..
Cheers

This will soon be the preferred form for all such options. Any negatable option for which ! does not work should be reported as a bug. The other negative forms are now deprecated and will be removed in FVWM X.Y.
