Hi thardy01,

Have you read the jwm's manual regarded to Tray style colors? Colors are described as the hex triplets in RGB format (#xxxxx).

If there is anything in your config file regarding colors you should create that section.

Example:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<JWM>
<!-- JWM theme loosely based on the "Fizzure2" Fluxbox style -->
<StartupCommand>xsri --scale-width=100 --scale-height=100 /usr/share/fluxbox/backgrounds/fractalMovementscape.jpg</StartupCommand>
       <Border>
               <Font antialias="false">-*-helvetica-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*</Font>
               <Foreground>black</Foreground>
               <Background>#a6a6a6</Background>
               <ActiveForeground>#fefefe</ActiveForeground>
               <ActiveBackground>#2152c5</ActiveBackground>
       </Border>
       <Tray>
               <Font antialias="false">-*-helvetica-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*</Font>
               <Foreground>black</Foreground>
               <Background>#a6a6a6</Background>
               <ActiveForeground>#fefefe</ActiveForeground>
               <ActiveBackground>#2152c5</ActiveBackground>
       </Tray>
       <Pager>
               <Outline>#888888</Outline>
               <Foreground>black</Foreground>
               <Background>#2152c5</Background>
               <ActiveForeground>#fefefe</ActiveForeground>
               <ActiveBackground>#4184de</ActiveBackground>
       </Pager>
       <Load>
               <Outline>white</Outline>
               <Foreground>DarkOrange2</Foreground>
               <Background>#2152c5</Background>
       </Load>
       <Popup>
               <Font antialias="false">-*-helvetica-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*</Font>
               <Outline>#a6a6a6</Outline>
               <Foreground>#fefefe</Foreground>
               <Background>#2152c5</Background>
       </Popup>
       <Menu>
               <Font antialias="false">-*-helvetica-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*</Font>
               <Foreground>black</Foreground>
               <Background>#a6a6a6</Background>
               <ActiveForeground>#fefefe</ActiveForeground>
               <ActiveBackground>#2152c5</ActiveBackground>
       </Menu>
</JWM>


You should restart jwm every time for changes in .jwmrc to take effect.

I know that this is the gentoo forum and I shouldn't do that but if you are using jwm as a main window manager i could recommend you a Puppy Linux forum as a vault of information on that topic since it is theirs main WM for a long time.
