  Thank you, Jasper. My follow up question (which may not be appropriate to
this list) is how those colors are assigned to different applications.
Perhaps I need to dig into how X uses color resources.

  What I would like to do, fairly easily if possible, is understand to what
aspects of the display each palette setting color is applied. I notice that
as I select different theme engines, the perceived role of each button
changes.

  If I can understand this, and learn if I can combine features of two
different window themes into what I want to see displayed, then I can save
these files for the next upgrade and restore the look and feel that I prefer
despite changes to the new, default configurations.
