@Pwnz3r:
Pretty weird. I've also used urxvt and I've always found that it was a bit slow to start. This has lead me to use aterm for a while and mrxvt few days ago.
Anyway, I've just set mrxvt the way I've said: no shadow and XFT's weight to "normal". I don't get your issue with the fonts or the "~".
It may be related to your fonts settings though I'm not 100% sure as your urxvt works fine. For my side, I use xfs as font server (the one under xorg is nice but not as nice as xfs). I also load the freetype module under xorg. For the font, I've chosen Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. Finally, I've got "truetype" under my USE and I've emerged the 0.3.9 release of mrxvt. _________________ Registered user #30505 |

Bench specs :
Rendering a cat of a big file
/var/log/emerge.log = 38684 Lines
Font size : 11 pts
Geometry : 120 x 46
Pseudo transparency enabled on : scrollbar, tabbar and mainscreen
Always had 4 tabs opens but nothing was going on in them.
Bench results :
===================================
mrxvt with AA bold and shadow :
cat /var/log/emerge.log 0.00s user 0.08s system 0% cpu 1:01.59 total
mrxvt bold and shadowed without AA :
cat /var/log/emerge.log 0.00s user 0.07s system 2% cpu 3.222 total
===================================
mrxvt with shadow and not bold nor AA :
cat /var/log/emerge.log 0.00s user 0.09s system 1% cpu 7.579 total
mrxvt with AA shadow and not bold :
cat /var/log/emerge.log 0.00s user 0.10s system 0% cpu 57.161 total
===================================
mrxvt bold without shadow and anti-aliasing
cat /var/log/emerge.log 0.00s user 0.10s system 5% cpu 1.971 total
mrxvt bold AA without shadow
cat /var/log/emerge.log 0.00s user 0.09s system 0% cpu 33.626 total
===================================
mrxvt with bitstream vera sans mono XFT and AA
cat /var/log/emerge.log 0.00s user 0.11s system 0% cpu 31.172 total
mrxvt with bitstream vera sans mono XFT without AA
cat /var/log/emerge.log 0.00s user 0.08s system 4% cpu 1.803 total
mrxvt without changing the default fonts so the old way :
cat /var/log/emerge.log 0.00s user 0.08s system 5% cpu 1.434 total
===================================
multi-aterm with bitstream vera sans mono set the old way :
cat /var/log/emerge.log 0.00s user 0.08s system 3% cpu 2.134 total
===================================
Well it's a pleasant surprise. At least mrxvt with bitstream vera XFT is faster than multi-aterm running the old way that's quite a feat since it's supposed to be slower. Funny thing to note is that mrxvt renders font faster being bold AND shadow applied than only shadow. Guess it has a smaller area to calculate and is more difficult I don't know. From a performance stand point, AA is not the way to go but it makes the font more pleasant to read at least. Guess I'll switch to mrxvt, albeit I still don't know if I'll use AA or not. Hopes someone finds this usefull but I had fun doing this.
Thanks Pem for the config snippet it helped me. _________________ -= United we share =-

Just tried mrxvt and it's great cause I just got rid of <flame_ignore_it> bloated kde with konsole, and gnome with gnome-terminal (cause XFce is The One) </flame_ignore_it> but I want a "tabbed" terminal.
As I see mrxvt will work for me untill the new xfce terminal get into portage.
But as I'm a kinda n00b, I need some support:
What can I do about it: I need that - as I log in to a remote machine via telnet or ssh - the $TERM varialble is set to "rxvt". But I need it as "xterm" (because of some protermcap like problems).
Please help me.
Cheers,
Zsoltika |

Well it already is in portage, but is deemed unstable now. If you want to test it try this :
Code: |
echo "xfce-extra/terminal ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -av xfce-extra/terminal

Well you could set the $TERM variable in your .bashrc if you use bash on the remote machine. I don't know if it will work but that's what I can come up with.

AFAIK it depend on some masked package, and I didn't want to install masked packages

Most of the time these remote shells are 'ksh' or 'tcsh' (sometimes after login manually started tcsh). So how to set the $TERM variable in this case? |

Google is your friend ...
.tcshrc documentation
.kshrc documentation
You should check the ksrc page I gave you, it list a nice init script that checks for a certain type of shell. Set $TERM before that line and modify the code to check to the right term that you want to see if it works !

edit: man!! i don't like it. I love it.
Although I had to jazz up the fonts and a few things, before I was completely happy (ain't it always the case?). Many thanks to pem for the .Xdefaults and the encode error catch. I changed the color (more saturated) and emphasis etc so that it looks more like my old xterm, removed transparency. If anyone wants my version of it, here it is.

sometimes my fonts become thick - as if i used mrxvt*xftWeight: bold in the .Xdefaults. It usually happens when I am emerging something, i.e. when the emerge changes color and thickness of the fonts. Any way to stop it? I mean what emerge changes is OK, but, it should not make the bash prompt all bold. |

For withdrawing the shadow, comment out the following:
Code: | !mrxvt*textShadow: black
!mrxvt*textShadowMode: botright |
If you don't want your text to look as fat as mine , you can also replace the weight of the XFT font:
Code: | mrxvt*xftWeight: normal |

Hey, think you could post your whole config? I'm having trouble finding decent examples on the internet. _________________ whoa |

No probs. You can also have a look at my site. I've set a screenshot with a MRXVT showing some of my colors, tabs, transparency, and XFT fonts with anti-aliasing and drop shadow. _________________ Registered user #30505 |

I think that would be useful. I'm having some problems getting tinting to work; transparency is either all or nothing right now (but everything else is pretty sweet I must say). :/ _________________ whoa |

Mrxvt has a BIG bug. When resizing the fonts using SHIFT-+ or SHIFT - -, it segfaults!
Code: |
free(): invalid pointer 0x81745b0!
Segmentation fault
|
It's xft-support that does it! When I set
mrxvt*xft: false
it doesn't have this bug (but neither does it has such pretty fonts. Oh cruel world!) |

yes, that's a know problem. in main.c:rxvt_change_font_xft, you can find this comment:
/*
** It is safe now to free old XftPattern, but apparently there is
** some problems if we change the font size in reverse direction,
** e.g., increase font size then decrease it, or decrease font
** size then increase it. It can crash the terminal. Need more
** study on it.
*/
to fix it temporarily, just comment out the two XftPatternDestroy calls below this comment. |

I just don't need tabs, although I can see that some people want them. They've just not seen "screen" yet. The best terminal multiplexer there is, and it is yet so undercelebrated. Try it! _________________ The md5sum of the above post is 06280ccd85ef9deb49c336e7945f4b5c

I use both, one screen per tab. Screen is very handy for damage control from X or terminal crashes, but I find a single click or ctrl-N is easier then ctrl-A-D + screen -list (if memory is shoddy) + screen -r foo. There's probably an easier way to reattach, but it's still more finger gymnastics. :p
Also, is there a way to restore normal scrollbar behavior while using screen? That would be really nice. |

if you do not like the tab, you can simply hide it in mrxvt... |

Sorry about digging this old thread, but i have a problem with mrxvt shading option. I've set some tintColor and shading, but when I run a new instance it's transparent, no shading. The strange thing is, wheni move the window from its original location, it does the shading exactly as I want it to and stays that way
.
My .Xdefaults:
Code: | mrxvt.geometry: 108x30
mrxvt.loginShell: true
mrxvt.borderLess: false
mrxvt.showMenu: true
mrxvt.hideTabbar: true
mrxvt.scrollBar: false
mrxvt.transparent: true
mrxvt.transparentForce: true
mrxvt.tintColor: rgb:5c/78/a3
mrxvt.shading: 20
mrxvt.tintingType: true
mrxvt.saveLines: 3000
mrxvt.xftFont: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
mrxvt.xftSize: 11
mrxvt.xft: true
mrxvt.xftAntialias: true
mrxvt.xftHinting: true
mrxvt.xftAutoHint: true
mrxvt.xftWeight: light
mrxvt.xftSlant: roman
mrxvt.xftWidth: normal
mrxvt.textShadow: black
