Thanks, that is actually a huge help.

FWIW, I'm trying to adjust Claws colors to dark-on-light scheme presented
here:

http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized

These are some very pleasing color schemes, but sadly there's no Claws
configuration available there yet.  I'm pretty close, although there are
definitely things not working yet (e.g. all the window frame colors).

Here's the gtkrc-2.0 file I've got so far.

-----snip snip-----
# http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized
style "solarize"
{
	base[NORMAL]      = "#002b36"   # base03 - all text background
	base[ACTIVE]      = "#000000"   # black - unselected background
	base[PRELIGHT]    = "#ffffff"
	base[SELECTED]    = "#586375"   # base02 - selected background
	base[INSENSITIVE] = "#eee8d5"   # base2  - insensitive background

	text[NORMAL]      = "#839496"   # base0 - main text foreground
	text[SELECTED]    = "#ffffff"
	text[ACTIVE]      = "#fdf6e3"   # base3 - foreground inactive

	fg[NORMAL]        = "#93a1a1"   # base1 - foreground in summary
	fg[ACTIVE]        = "#ffff00"
	fg[PRELIGHT]      = "#ff00ff"
	fg[SELECTED]      = "#ffffff"
	fg[INSENSITIVE]   = "#000000"

	bg[NORMAL]        = "#ffffff"
	bg[ACTIVE]        = "#ffff00"
	bg[PRELIGHT]      = "#ff00ff"
	bg[SELECTED]      = "#00ffff"
	bg[INSENSITIVE]   = "#000000"
}

class "*Text*"     style "solarize"
class "*Spin*"     style "solarize"
class "*Entry*"    style "solarize"
class "*Tree*"     style "solarize"
class "*List*"     style "solarize"

and a few from my clawsrc file:

quote_level1_color=#268bd2
quote_level2_color=#2aa198
quote_level3_color=#6c71c4
uri_color=#859900
emphasis_color=#b58900
target_folder_color=#cb4b16
signature_color=#fdf6e3

I need to take a look at some of the other clawsrc colors.

If anybody else is interested in collaborating on a solarized color scheme,
let me know.  If I can get something decent I'll submit it to the web site.

Cheers,
-Barry
