You can't yet customize the color. I'll add that when it's clear that this is seen as an improvement.

Sorry, this is not specific to this configuration options you arr talking, but in general to the way we handle X resources after we lost you previous modular design (with Decoration). I'm thinking about using Decoration to write some functions handy when painting to the screen. Something like this should be possible, if I remember correctly: colorToPixel :: String -> X Pixel createNewWindow[1] :: Reactangle -> X Window hideWindow :: Window -> X () showWindow :: Window -> X () deleteWindow :: Window -> X () paintWindow :: Window -> Reactangle -> BGColor -> FGColor -> X Window paintWindowWithBorder :: Window -> Reactangle -> Int -> BGColor -> FGColor -> BorderColor -> X Window printInWindow :: Window -> FontStruc/Set -> Position -> Position -> FGColor -> BGColor -> String ->X Window --printInWindow (?) :: Window -> Rectangle -> FontStruc/Set -> FGColor -> BGColor -> String -> X Window [1] with theRoot as parent Colors are string. This way we only need to deal with the font struct, which cannot be created on the fly as we can do with the GC. That was the major problem of the old tabbed layout, after all - (which, to me, seems a X issue). I would like to know what you guys think about it and if you can give me suggestions/directions before starting to write. Andrea
