 |
|
I have been looking around at how to get true trans in urxvt, and havn't been able to do so on my new system.
I'm running xcompmgr, urxvt w/ background:rgda:0000/0000/0000/aaaa and depth:32. It isn't working, and I'm unsure as to why.

That's a typo, right? (=rgba)
You also have composite enabled in your xorg.conf? |

yeah, thats a typo (I'll make sure I didn't do it twice), and composite is enabled (xcompmgr refuses to start if it isn't enabled, oddly enough)

Well, those were the obvious points. Do you get transparency elsewhere (for example when using transset)?
Also see for more (obvious) checkpoints: http://www.gentoo-wiki.com/Xorg/Transparency |

I'll try transset, and I followed that guide, which is why I am where I am now.

Urxvt is running fine with transparency. Using e17. And I have the following relevant lines in ~/.Xdefaults: | Code: | URxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/eeee
URxvt*depth: 32
URxvt*transparent: False |
With transparent set to 'true', urxvt is very slow in redrawing. Also, I have disabled the afterimage USE-flag.

transset works fine.
I tried your settings, ppurka, and they didn't work either. All I got was a black term w/ white lettering.

It is possible that some setting on my machine is abetting urxvt. FYI, I am using bling module (which enables composite) with e17. I can provide my complete urxvt settings if you want.

Sure. Never know if one of them may help.

Hmm, I don't see anything that should make a diff, except that you use e16 and I don't.

| How is your URxvt*inheritPixmap set? Try setting it to the alternative. Also have you tried to comment out the Depth setting? |
