When I run console based programs that use ncurses in rxvt-unicode I get strange behavior (graphically).

When I run moc with the following command i get the normal blue interface and no graphical issues:
Code:

mocp


But when I run moc with the following command (which i use to avoid that ugly blue background) i get only the text (no dividing lines separating the play list and file list etc):
Code:

mocp -T transparent-background


I run rxvt-unicode with the following command:
Code:

urxvt -depth 32 +sb -fg white -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/7777 -sh 75 -fade 15 -fadecolor black -pr black -pr2 white


I'd like either fix rxvt-unicode or get true transparency with another terminal so that i can try getting that one to work with moc without the graphical glitch (I've only managed to get true transparency with xcompmgr and openbox with rxvt-unicode).

I've also noted that the separations appear when i highlight all the text in the terminal so it might be because of some color settings.

My ultimate goal with this is to get my moc to appear as it does on the bottom right of this screenshot on the openbox website:

It works! Well almost, the problem is, executing a urxvt with that command doesn't produce true transparency for me, it only produces that "fake" transparency where it just shows your background instead of everything behind it as well (conky, firefox, whatever).

Is there some reason why that shouldn't be the case? Does the command you listed normally produce true transparency?

Yes, pseudo-transparency is what you have now. To get your original urxvt command working correctly you need to configure Xorg.
