BORDER{BG,FG}COLOR
SELTAG{BG,FG}COLOR
NORMTAG{BG,FG}COLOR
MODE{BG,FG}COLOR
TITLE{BG,FG}COLOR
STATUS{BG,FG}COLOR
DMENU{BG,FG}COLOR

That are 14 colors! Too much in my eyes for a small status bar.

Instead of your proposal I propose the following, which is a
simplification of current colorscheme:

[UN]FOCUSCOLOR -> used for focused/unfocused borders
NORM{BG,FG}COLOR -> used for bar bg, unselected tags, mode,
                   status [and dmenu normal stuff]
SEL{BG,FG}COLOR -> used for selected tags, title [and dmenu normal stuff]

That are 6 colors!


They are just some defines, I think in main dwm it could have the
fourteen colors (or so many as it is neccesary) and you could allways
do:
#define STATUSBGCOLOR SELBGCOLOR
for example. I know this goes against the less lines of code
philosophy, but these lines of code: 1. don't add any bit to the
compiled dwm, as they are just constants. 2. it doesn't add complexity
to the code (I think it makes it a bit clearer).
It is just a suggestion, I thought it would be the most diplomatic
solution, but I don't really matter (you shouldn't even spend your
time answering this email...). FYI I'm using the same number of colors
than Anselm, except I have one more for mode and status fg.
