+(5) Dynamic color support:
+--------------------------
+
+This feature allows to dynamically (at runtime) set foreground and
+background colors for dzen's input (colored text) working in all
+modes (title only, slave window and menu mode).
+
+The input must be in the following format:
+
+ * Setting only the foreground color:

+
+ * Setting foreground and background color:
