Hello.

I have a suggestion for a rather cosmetic enhancement in CTWM, my window
manager of choice. It would be nice if highlighted windows' title bars -
including the buttons - could have a completely different background and
foreground colors than normal windows. It doesn't seem to be possible at
the moment.

After looking at the sources, it seems to me, this would not be a very
difficult change to make *if one knew what one was doing*. Alas, I'm not
much of programmer, especially when it comes to X and window managers. I
think changes would be needed first of all in the structures TwmWindow
in twm.h (add a new ColorPair) and ScreenInfo in screen.h (ditto) but
naturally also in the functions that draw the title and/the buttons +
the .ctwmrc-file parsing. I tried fiddling around the sources, but found
out that I don't understand the system well enough to get the result I
wanted.

I understand that a change like this, whose only purpose is to make it
possible to make CTWM look more like Motif/CDE, may not have a high
priority, but thanks anyway. CTWM is very good in any case.
