Hello Danny
You can actually set you colour even for standars xforms ones.
I use it quite extensively in my application, sadp
These are standard colour entries (as far as I remember):
FL_MCOL - face colour for buttons
FL_COL1 - colour for button text
FL_TOP_BCOL, FL_BOTTOM_BCOL, etc for button shades.
Again, I may be wrong. Check by trial and error, or look into my code.
Now, here is the trick. To avoid colour allocation in the 256 palette, I set all these colours
to
zero, before calling fl_initialize,
fl_set_icm_color(FL_MCOL, 0, 0, 0);
After fl_initialize is called, you can query resources, and colour ones can be among them.
You can use colour names form rgb.txt. To set the colour, use
fl_map_colorname (FL_MCOL, resource_colour_name);
Look in 3.11.1 of Xforms manual for details.
Will be happy if this helps.

I've experimented with colors a bit in xforms and have been able to use decent
work arounds to get the colors I want for applications. The problem as I see
it is that what I like for a color isn't necessarily what an end user likes to
see. Some end users are nearly color blind and some are color sensitive, some
have old eyes and need different fonts to see better.Can we use the xresources to help users tailor their applications? I suppose I
can include some code myself to check the xresources files and set up FCOL1,
