I think I can guess. What you may have seen is the combination of a
sticky window and a vertical gradient. Maybe. Anyway, vertical gradients
you do by using something like

TitleStyle VGradient 16 3 Red 20 Blue 30 Black 50 Grey

This is pulled directly from the result of "man fvwm2". I don't really
get this gradient business 'cause I'm not sure how it works along with the
HilightColor setting and the ForeColor and BackColor style settings. No
experience.

Which leads me to a similar question. How do you use "TitleStyle
VGradient" so that you get one gradient for unfocused windows and another
for focused windows?
