-As you have no doubt noticed when using Xfwm4's default theme it is possible to make themes "pick-up" gtk theme colours. It's not just running the gimp and draw the buttons. Most themes use a color symbol table. That means the xpm file must be opened and edited by hand.+As you have no doubt noticed when using Xfwm4's default theme, the theme uses the colors of the current Gtk theme. Colors for an XFWM theme can be defined in the theme's themrc file. If they are not defined there, they are picked up from the current Gtk theme. The following colors are used:
  
-The color symbols are as follow : +^ Name ^ Gtk value ^ Description ^ 
-^ Name ^ Description ^ +| active_text_color          | fg[selected] | Text color on title for active window |

-The symbols get replaced by the actual color values at runtime so that the window borders inherits GTK theme colors automatically. +The Gtk values "fg" and "bg" are defined in the gtkrc file of the current Gtk theme. Please notice that the values "dark", "light" and "mid" can not be defined in the gtkrc but are computed (dark = 0.7 * bg, light = 1.3 * bg, mid = 0.5 * (dark + light)). 
-Xpm file format used natively by xfwm4 is no more than a plain text file that can be edited with your favorite text editor.+The symbols get replaced by the actual color values at runtime so that the window border can inherit Gtk theme colors automatically, unless they are defined in the themerc. 
 + 
 +To use the defined colors in the XFWM theme, the XPM files have to be edited. Since XPM files are plain text, they can be edited with your favorite text editor.
