Maybe it could support a syntax something like this (in a possible
future) (in the XPM):
". s cs1bg"
", s cs1hi"
": s cs1sh"
For enabling the use of several coloursets in the same file.
bg,fg,sh,hi (without a colourset) could refer to the colourset of the
"context" where the XPM is used (for example title bar).
I was also thinking of using XPMs with colours from my "theme" as
root image, but this would require creating temporary files (script,
perl etc.)
By the way, is it possible to "query" FVWM for the current definition of
coloursets via FvwmCommand? (for use in a script to set the root
image).
