xcompgr + urxvt with true transparency > no shadows around the window

hello!

i have a big problem. i want a terminal with real transparency. making a other terminal transparent with transset is bad, because it makes the whole window transparent, also the borders!

so i decided to try urxvt. i start urxvt with the following command:

urxvt -fn "xft:Monospace:pixelsize=11" +sb -depth 32 -fg white -bg rgba:2000/2000/2000/dddd

it works, the terminal has real transparency, but it has no shadows around the window/terminal. when i start urxvt with a depth of 24, there are shadows but no transparency!

i'm running e17 with xcompmgr and the following settings:

xcompmgr -c -f -r4 -t-3 -l-3 -D5 -o 0.7 -d :0.0&

is there someone who can help me? i hope it!

no one who has the same configuration like me?

Actually I do and I have no shadows either - but I wasn't even aware of this issue until you pointed it out.

But I like it without shadow, using OpenBox here.

Same here with Openbox. I don't think there is a way to solve this for now. You should ask the urxvt maintainer, he should have an idea about the cause of the bug.
