Should be possible to code with colour sets. Actually Tim and
I have already planned to implement this in FvwmTheme somehow,
but we've not yet reached a conclusion how this can be done
best. At the moment the transparency effect can be achieved
only for HGradient and VGradient backgrounds, e.g.

  *FvwmThemeColorset 6 fg CFORE, bg CBACK, VGradient 100 dtcolour5 CMENU
  *FvwmThemeColorset 2 fg CFORE, bg CFOCUS

  *FvwmButtonsRows 5
  *FvwmButtonsColumns 68
  *FvwmButtonsColorset 6
  *FvwmButtons(14x5, Swallow FvwmIconMan 'Module FvwmIconMan')

  *FvwmIconMan*Colorset 6
  *FvwmIconMan*FocusColorset 2
  *FvwmIconMan*FocusAndSelectColorset 2
  *FvwmIconMan*PlainColorset 6
  *FvwmIconMan*SelectColorset 6
  *FvwmIconMan*TitleColorset 6

(The C... and dtcolour... macros are colour names from a
configurable palette I use).

What padding? FvwmIconMan has no padding I know about.
FvwmButtons does, however. It can be adapted with the
*FvwmButtonsPadding options:

  *FvwmButtonsPadding 1 1

Or it can be set for individual buttons:

  *FvwmButtons(padding 1 1, Swallow FvwmIconMan ...)

Bye
