Configuration Decorations and bindings

Before Ver1.0.5 the following settings are valid.
But this settings will not be reflected after Ver1.0.6.
The problem is part “MenuStyle * MenuFace…” .
Why can’t I use “MenuFace”?
MenuStyle * MenuFace HGradient 128 2 Red 40 Maroon 60 White
MenuStyle * Hilight3DOff, HilightBack, HilightTitleBack, SeparatorsLong
MenuStyle * MenuFace Solid Maroon
MenuStyle * TrianglesSolid, TrianglesUseFore
MenuStyle * ItemFormat “%|%3.1i%5.3l%5.3>%|”
MenuStyle * Font “xft:Sans:Bold:size=8:antialias=True”

Because of this, I can’t use gradients in menus.
this settings will be reflected after Ver1.0.6.
MenuStyle * MenuColorset 5, ActiveColorset 6, GreyedColorset 7, TitleColorset 8
MenuStyle * Hilight3DOff, HilightBack, HilightTitleBack, SeparatorsLong
MenuStyle * MenuFace Solid Maroon
MenuStyle * TrianglesSolid, TrianglesUseFore
MenuStyle * ItemFormat “%|%3.1i%5.3l%5.3>%|”
MenuStyle * Font “xft:Sans:Bold:size=8:antialias=True”

Even fmwm-2.7.0 was working !
Give me HGradient.

Hi @kuro-ame

Things change, sometimes for the better, which this change is. It means we can now standardise on using Colorsets.

Hi @thomasadam
Thank you for your prompt reply.

Colorset 0 HGradient 128 3 Blue 1000 Green 1 Yellow 1000 Red
I did it! , I got an HGradient.
I don’t know what to do from here.
However, part of the fun of fvwm* is going through hardships on your own.

The road has opened. I am grateful for your advice.

Many things can be done, try the different color variants.

Colorsets for Horizontal and Vertical panels
Gradient directions:
Diagonal = D
Horizontal = H
Vertical = V

Example:
Blue gradient:

Colorset 1 DGradient 200 #17576a #d1d4d7
Colorset 2 HGradient 200 #17576a #d1d4d7
Colorset 3 VGradient 200 #17576a #d1d4d7

Transparent:
Colorset 4 RootTransparent Buffer, Tint #4a516a 50, fg white, bg black
