Please try opaque move from time to time, it is one command, you know. :)

I mean instead of 6 ordered pixmaps to have named parameters like:

  Main decor/title-main.xpm, TextUnder decor/title-textunder.xpm, ...

Because this does not work well for frameworks where buttons are
configured separately from titlebar, i.e. the same MAC-like or OS2-like
buttons are used with different titlebar configs, see for example
http://fvwm-themes.sf.net/windowdecors/ .

For all (well most) mixes to work well, titlebar colors (pixmaps in our
case) should dictate window button background. If you want to learn more
about what I said, get fvwm-themes and try different mixes of colors@
and [EMAIL PROTECTED] You may also see what commands these 2 components use.

Of course, this is an extra functionality, but it would solve us some
problems we have now with fancy decors. For example, take a look at the
url above, currently buttons@ in @brushedmetal, @mech and @nanogui are not
transparent just like you suggest, but then they can't be mixed at all.
If it is possible to specify non-Main pixmap to be used in ButtonStyle
UseTitleStyle, these buttons in all 3 themes would be transparent and all
possible mixes of colors@ and buttons@ would look nicely.

Actually this would be useful when TitleStyle Centered|Right/LeftJustified
is configured separately from titlebar colors (pixmaps). Yes, this is
configured in another component windowlook@ in fvwm-themes. :)

For example, in your glenwood try to change text alignment, you will see
what I mean.

Thank you very much for your work.
