I believe the problem is that "sgc" hasn't been prepared to
use the titlebar font.
I was able to get this to work by storing the shadow color
in the common_decorations_type structure in
get_common_decorations and then using this:
XSetForeground(dpy, Scr.TitleGC, cd->shadow_color);
XDrawString(dpy, t->title_w, Scr.TitleGC, hor_off+1,
t->title_font.y + 2, t->name, strlen(t->name));
XSetForeground(dpy, Scr.TitleGC, cd->fore_color);
XDrawString(dpy, t->title_w, Scr.TitleGC, hor_off,
t->title_font.y + 1, t->name, strlen(t->name));
