The menus relief and shadow are computed in fvwm/colors.c
FvwmButtons reief and shadow are computed in modules/FvwmButtons/FvwmButtons.c
The calculation of the relief seems to be the same, but I am
not sure about the rounding on the highlight:
((rgb/50)/100) vs. rgb>>1
If XPM is defined, "FvwmButtons.c" uses the XPM library to allocate a
"close" color, where colors.c uses XAllocColor. Providing the exact
color is available they should both be able to share a color cell.

Sure would be nice if all this calculation was in one place...
