can't change colors - Githubissues

I changed colors in config.h, but it keeps using the default colors. Also tried to change them in config.def.h, but didn't help either. I don't find any patch that mess with that, and default dmenu works as expected, so it's an issue with flexipatch. Here are my config.h and patches.h
