real transparency problem with urxvt and .Xdefaults
HappyDude Started conversation Sep 30, 2008
If I start urxvt (rxvt-unicode) the appropriate flags I can get a terminal with real transparency however I would rather use the .Xdefaults file to configure urxvt but no matter what I do I cannot get urxvt to show real transparency using the .Xdefaults file.
The command that starts urxvt with real transparency:
urxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]cyan" -tint darkgrey -sh 75 -fade 15 -fadecolor cyan -fn "xft:Courier New:pixelsize=15"
My .Xdefaults:
! Configure urxvt terminal
!
utxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode
urxvt*bitdepth: 32
urxvt*inheritPixmap: False
urxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd
urxvt*foreground: [80]cyan
urxvt*fading: 25
urxvt*fadeColor: cyan
urxvt*tintColor: darkgrey
urxvt*shading: 75
urxvt*scrollstyle: plain
urxvt*secondaryScroll: true
urxvt*loginShell: false
urxvt*meta: ignore
urxvt*utmpInhibit: true
urxvt*saveLines: 5120
urxvt*mapAlert: true
urxvt*visualBell: true
urxvt*pastableTabs: false
urxvt*urlLauncher: firefox
!urxvt*transparent: true
urxvt*font: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=15
urxvt*boldFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=15
urxvt*italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=15:autohint=true
urxvt*bolditalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=15:autohint=true
So has anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
