I do have gcolor2 installed i just forgot to add g, hands were type 
faster that I was thinking.
What I am not understanding is the rgb:a0/a0/a0 what is the a's and how 
do you decode that.
Been looking at some of the icewm themes and have seen that color code 
format how do you get the color format for that. I understand #000000 
this color code format but not rgb:a0/a0/a0
