Hi. I met some issue with the `col.inactive `variable in group.groupbar.

```lua
group = {
	groupbar = {
	    text_offset = 1,
	    font_weight_inactive = "bold",
	    text_color_inactive = "rgb(0,154,154)",
	    col.inactive = 0x66777701,
	},
    }

```

log reports an expected ‘}’ after col.inactive to close ‘{’ at groupbar’s line near ‘=’

if col.inactive is commented I have not any bug.

Best regards

col is its own table.  
So either do:  
col = { inactive = }  
or  
[“col.inactive”] =
