A very powerfull feature of AfterStep are colorschemes. That means
that at each moment AfterStep defines 31 additional color name, exact
color values of which will depend on choosen colorscheme. Now XML
scripts may include HSV conversion commands. As the result it is
possible to have images change its colors depending on the colorscheme
choosen.
For example :
<hsv
hue_offset="$ascs.Active.hue"
saturation_offset="$ascs.Active.saturation-30"
value_offset="$ascs.Active.value-72">
<img src="bars/title_tile_glass_red_a50"/>
</hsv>
Above image will produce focused titlebar background that changes
colors according to colorscheme chosen.
The combination of AfterStep's XML images and colorscheme-defined colors makes
it possible to decorate EVERY element of the GUI according to the selected colorscheme.
See AfterImage XML
and Custom Color Scheme for details.
