You only need the scheme in .Xdefaults!

What do you get when in X with an open xterm and type
env | grep TITLEBAR

--- End quote ---
FLWM_TITLEBAR_COLOR=00:00:00

I'm running 2.4rc2 in qemu and see the same results. I tried FLWM_TITLEBAR_COLOR=32:32:32. There was no change.
env | grep TITLEBAR returns:
FLWM_TITLEBAR_COLOR=32:32:32

Using xvesa.

Yes. Appears to be my bad. The classic build got the latest cut. This is the version that I prefer. The topside build did not. You  can try the classic build or wait until next cut for the topside to be updated.

As you have said many times, that's what "rc's" are for.

There is nothing like public testing to shake things out.
I am glad I have a community willing to do such.
Thanks.

Looks like the new RC overwrote the .jwmrc files in $HOME.  I had some backups, so restored.

edit: and continues to overwrite them; shouldn't they be only in /skel?

jwm is not in the base system. jwm is an extension and the extension has not changed.
However I will look into booting the jwm extension.

.jwmrc files are in /etc/skel.  The issue is that they're somehow being written to $HOME, overwriting the files from backup.  Workaround is to recopy them after the boot. They're even overwritten if returing to a prompt and issuing the startx command.

edit: strange....I don't see any .jwmrc files  after unpacking tinycore.gz (in /etc/skel or ~home)...not sure where they're coming from.  I'll try the snapshot extension.  edit: same issue

I see the issue. It came about as part of the refactoring of code. I will correct it. I believe it can be handled in the extensions itself. Thanks for reporting.

Just took a brief break from work, I didn't get a chance to check out the link.  THANKS!
I just noted line 7 in jwm_initmenu.  I see the .jwmrc files are put in /etc/skel by the extension, then
copied to $HOME.

--- Code: ---# !/bin/sh
  3 # (c) Robert Shingledecker 2009
  4 # Called from tc-config to setup jwm tce menu
  5 USER="$(cat /etc/sysconfig/tcuser)"
  6 TCEMENU="/usr/local/tce.menu/menu"
 +7 cp /etc/skel/.jwm* /home/"$USER"
  8 cp /usr/share/jwm/tce/menu_template "$TCEMENU"
  9 chown "$USER".staff "$TCEMENU"
 10 chmod g+w "$TCEMENU

Yes and that worked just fine until the code was refactored to be reentrant.
Please the the new jwm.tcz as posted earlier.

--- End quote ---

I don't exactly know what refactored to be reentrant means, but the linked jwm extension includes a test before copying, which works nicely: (but it DID work before   :))

--- Code: ---for F in `ls -1 /etc/skel/.jwm*`; do
  [ -f /home/"$USER"/"${F##/*/}" ] || cp /etc/skel/.jwm* /home/"$USER"
  done

--- End code ---

Backup displays the following error message:

Make sure you are using a valid backup/restore device. Some errors are logged in /tmp/backup_status


--- End quote ---

In /tmp/backup_status:


--- Quote ---
... file changed as we read it


--- End quote ---

Messages doesn't fit together and first message is misleading.

bmarkus:
usbinstall error messages can't be read when script started in the right click menu as script terminates immediately.
