I hope I'm not to late. I fear something is a little sick here. I 
created a theme and this is what was saved:


"Marble(Blue)" -ubt true -lbtf 
"/Applications/Chess/Xboard/XBoard.app/Contents/Resources/share/xboard/themes/textures/Transparent/stone-marble2-texture.png" 
-dbtf 
"/Applications/Chess/Xboard/XBoard.app/Contents/Resources/share/xboard/themes/textures/Transparent/stone-marble1-texture.png" 
-lbtm 1 -dbtm 1 -lsc #cbdce1 -dsc #1b6883 -ub false -upf false -pid 
"/Applications/Chess/Xboard/XBoard.app/Contents/Resources/share/xboard/themes/Habsburg" 
-trueColors false -wpc #ededed -bpc #000000 -hsc #fff826 -phc #FF0

Only when I select this theme, xboard crashes to desktop with:


xboard-bin: Unrecognized argument -p
logout

Clearly something is odd with the way the line is interpreted or saved. 
the -p came from the partial -phc value. But even then should xboard CDT 
in this manner with no error outside of the terminal?
