Hi there...
I know it is possible by spawning an external command from
FvwmBacker. That method is just very bad in reaction/speed. I
explained all that in my message...
Anyway I'm now using FvwmTheme Colorsets, as proposed by Mikhael... It
works great... I just didn't know Colorsets can do that...

  Thank you - Dominik, Mikhael,
