Do you have a screen which can use 256 colours only? Does the problem occur only when you use netscape or others apps which use a lot of colours? Is the result better with: Colorset 5 bg average, fg the_color_you_want_as_fg, TiledPixmap foo.xpm, nodither Style * MenuColorset 5 fvwm has a lot of options for screens which can display only a few colours at once. Unfortunately, the doc and some of these options was written after 2.5.4. I suggest you use a recent snapshot and take a look at the doc (man fvwm) for: -color-limit, -strict-color-limit, -allocate-pallet, -static-pallet, -named-pallet.
