>From this it seems that you have a 8bit/24bit display and the default
visual used is 8bit (this can be changed by the system administrator
only I think). With 2.5.5 without option the default visual is used so
you run fvwm with at most 256 colors as your display can support 2^24
colours! You should start fvwm as
fvwm --visual TrueColor
or
fvwm-themes-start -- --visual TrueColor
With 2.5.6, the situation is auto-detected and no option is needed.
Any way I strongly recommend the use of 2.5.6 (or a recent snapshot)
under your situation. I will be interested by the result of an upgrade
to 2.5.6 (as now I do not understand the "parse_colorset" error msg).
