"fg" is the foreground color for "normal" widgets, such as labels,  
and "bg" is the background color.  "text" is the text color in  
editable widget, and "base" is the editable's background color.

Somewhere in the API reference manual there is an explanation of  
which colors are used where, but i can't remember where it was.
