It seems to me that the recent version of URXVT in the repositories, v9.09, comes with a switch of the shading setting. Before, I had the lines
URxvt*transparent: True
URxvt*shading: 0
URxvt*fading: 20
in my ~/.Xdefaults config file, but after the upgrade I just got a black background rather than the pseudo-transparent background I always had before. I looked at the man page and saw this:
shading: number
Darken (0 .. 100) or lighten (100 .. 200) the
transparent background; option -sh
so I switched to
URxvt*shading: 100
and my transparent background was displayed again. I've had this happen on both my Arch installs.
The urxvt changelog is here (with, apparently, a new release just hours ago). I don't see anything in the 9.09 release notes that looks like it mentions this, but there are a couple vague pixmap related changes.
Can anyone else confirm this change (edit: specifically, the pre-9.09 behavior)? I seem to remember the shading setting only darkening the background and 0 was for no darkness, hence I originally had it set to 0.
(I'm curious if the shading setting did change or if I actually had it at 100 and just set it to 0 accidentally in the midst of editing and syncing misc config files between machines (which I find unlikely).)

Got the same behaviour.
