-----------
# 2-1) Texture types
#
# title unfocused sticky menutitle menu
TextureTypes 4 1 1 3 1
------------
In that section you have to choose the type of gradients for the windows.
>From left to right is type 4
-----------
# 2-4) Or the gradients (can't choose both, except for TextGradientColor)
#
TitleTextureColor red yellow
UTitleTextureColor yellow red
STitleTextureColor yellow red
------------
And here you put the colors so chhose red and yellow, also you should set:
---------
# 2-2) Maximum colors allowed
#
# Number of colors : default is 10 on 8bpp screens, 32 on 16 bpp and 128 on >
TextureMaxColors 128 128 128 128
ButtonMaxColors 128
-----------------
That's all. BTW: look.James is using pixmaps, so look into the file you
meant, and take the colors from there (don't take red and yellow).
