Yes, icon title colors and window title colors can't be separated.
This is not changed in 2.4.x.

Inactive border color (as well as background) is controlled by
Style * Color (that was obsoleted in 2.2.x in favor of Style * BackColor).

The following can't be used in 2.2.x. If you decide to use 2.4.x,
delete any Color and HilightColor lines and use:
Style * BackColor bg1, ForeColor fg1
Style * HilightBack bg2, HilightFore fg2
Or use colorsets instead (see the man pages):
Style * Colorset num1
Style * HilightColorset num2
If you use colorsets, you may specify customized shadow/hilite background
colors for 3d effect. It is also possible to specify separate colors for
window borders (there is no such thing as icon borders):
Style * BorderColorset num3
Style * HilightBorderColorset num4
If you need to be able to specify icon title colors different from window
title colors (most people don't), feel free to submit a feature request.

Mikhael.
