Hi, I’ve been working on this off and on for a while and while usually I can get to the bottom of these things, this one has me stumped.
My desire is to have an FvwmIconMan instance on the root window, and blend into the root window by taking on it’s color. I can force this color or have it transparent. Either is acceptable - I use a solid background. I’d prefer to use colorsets so the change is immediate when I switch themes.
My problem is, when there is no minimized window, the background of the icon area is gray, never a color I specify.
I trimmed down a minimal configuration file that demonstrates this. I’m using fvwm 2.6.6.
Exec xsetroot -solid "rgb:87/ce/fa"

A non-colorset configuration seems to work, so I suspect there’s something in the colorset I’m not specifying correctly?
