Rob is right here, none of these options works with this xclock version,
only -bg works. It is still possible to specify all colors after playing
with editres. Try this:
xclock -xrm '*majorColor: blue' -xrm '*minorColor: green' -xrm '*minuteColor: red' -xrm '*hourColor: cyan' -bg yellow
What really bothers me is that this new (anti-aliased and very nice BTW)
xclock can't be fooled to be transparent like it was when swallowed in
FvwmButtons, so that -bg is replaced with a gradient. I have no idea yet
why this does not work for me anymore.
