So "$ startx -- -retro". Solid black is the worst w/black background on xterm etc. when stacking, not saying i don't feel embarrassed about it whenever anyone does see the stipple, but it is also colored enough to use the display for some light in a dark room. If it is not going to be black, i hope atleast cwm default border colors will be taken into consideration when choosing it. -Artturi
