-----------
# 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).
