There is no translucent colorset in fvwm because X does not allow
it (it will be possible to implement translucent menu but this is
not implemented and I do not think it will be in a near future).
However, you have the Transparent Colorset option:
Colorset 5 fg white, fgsh black, bg grey50, Transparent
To get transparent menus:
MenuStyle * MenuColorset 5, Font "shadow=1 all:a font"
You can try to tint:
Colorset 5 tint black 15
but this is slow. To get fast tinting you should use
Colorset 5 RootTransparent buffer
in the place of Transparent. But you should use an Esetroot
compatible program to set your bg (fvwm-root --retain-pixmap).
The transparent colorset is not usable with title bar (and will be
never), but in a near future you will be able.to use RootTransparent.
The RootTransparent colorset is not documented in 2.5.4 because
it was not fully implemented. It is in the current cvs.
