Re: FVWM: Re: fvwm95 unusable because it exhausts colormaps

Remember that the latest fvwm2's have the "ColorLimit n" command to
limit the number of colors used to anything less than 64.

> man fvwm2

...

        ColorLimit limit

              Specifies a limit on the colors used in pixmaps used by fvwm. Zero
              (the default) sets no limit. Fvwm uses pixmaps for icons,
              mini-icons, and pixmap borders and titles. This command limits pixmap
              colors to a set of colors that starts out with common colors. The
              current list contains about 60 colors and starts with white, black,
              grey, green, blue, red, cyan, yellow, and magenta. The command
              "ColorLimit 9" would limit pixmaps to these 9 colors.

              It makes the most sense to put this command at the front of the defini-
              tions that contain mini-icons.

              Solid frame and title colors (including shadows and gradients) are not
              controlled by this command.

 if anyone else suggested this.)
