Trying to make urxvt more beautiful

hi there... I am trying atm to make my urxvt look like Konsole's standard, which looks rather nice for me.
So far i have no luck at all... what i did was this:

had a look at /opt/kde/share/apps/konsole/README.default.Schema:

# default scheme for konsole (only here for documentation purposes)

# the title is to appear in the menu.

title Konsole Defaults

# image tile /opt/kde/share/wallpapers/gray2.jpg

# foreground colors

# note that the default background color is flagged
# to become transparent when an image is present.

#   slot    transparent bold
#      |              | |
#      V V--color--V  V V

color  0   0   0   0  0 0  # regular   foreground color (Black)
color  1 255 255 255  1 0  # regular   background color (White)

color  2   0   0   0  0 0  # regular   color 0 Black
color  3 178  24  24  0 0  # regular   color 1 Red
color  4  24 178  24  0 0  # regular   color 2 Green
color  5 178 104  24  0 0  # regular   color 3 Yellow
color  6  24  24 178  0 0  # regular   color 4 Blue

then i used Kcoloredit to get the HEX values... the resulting urxvt.color* are these:

URxvt.background:           #ffffff
URxvt*color0:                 #000000
URxvt*color1:                 #b21818
URxvt*color2:                 #18b218
URxvt*color3:                 #b26818
URxvt*color4:                 #1818b2
URxvt*color5:                 #b26818
URxvt*color6:                 #18b2b2
URxvt*color7:                 #b2b2b2

Still as you can see it doesnt look quite as nice... Any clue what i am doing wrong?

Instead of referring to that README which may or may not be up to date, why don't you just look up the colors directly in Konsole's settings?

Also, try setting the URxvt*depth resource.

I can't view the image to compare (or see that's wrong) but if it's just a matter of colours not matching, that would be due to urxvt supporting only 88 colours by default. You'd need to compile it with the 256 colour patch (PKGBUILD is available in AUR) if that's what your after.

Re: Trying to make urxvt more beautiful

Konsole doesnt have a profile for "Konsole Standard", its the only profile missing in options...

But Konsole4 had and thx to it, i managed to configure urxvt nearly the same way...

Re: Trying to make urxvt more beautiful

I did this but in reverse. I got the urxvt colors just right, then I edited my konsole theme to match the colors I use in urxvt. on my system urxvt and konsole almost looks identical.
