For me colorsets simplify config, not complicate it. I don't think this duplicated functionality should be added (and then removed in 3.0). This also requires adding fgsh color configuration in a lot of places, because the default is usually not what user wants. Dan, you should really start to use colorsets and benefit from all nice features they will have in 2.6. If you worry about your users, I may think about an automated convertion using fvwm-convert-2.6. You should add 3 lines to get shadow text in window titles now (if you don't use colorsets yet), copy these 4 colors from Style * BackColor etc: Colorset 1 fg A, bg B # inactive window title fg+bg Colorset 2 fg C, bg D # active window title fg+bg Style * Colorset 1, HilightColorset 2 If you want to add shadow colors to menus, convert these lines: MenuStyle * Foreground A, Background B, Greyed C MenuStyle * ActiveFore D, HilightBack E MenuStyle * MenuFace F to: Colorset 5 fg A, bg B, Pixmap F # inactive menu item fg+bg and face Colorset 6 fg D, bg E, Plain # active menu item fg+bg Colorset 7 fg C, bg C, Plain # greyed menu item fg MenuStyle * MenuColorset 5, ActiveColorset 6, GreyedColorset 7 Now add shadowsize to font, like: Style * Font "shadowsize=3:xft:Luxi Mono:Bold:pixelsize=14" MenuStyle * Font "shadowsize=1:-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*" Optionally add fgsh to colorsets, try: fg gray90, fgsh gray40, bg gray20.
