[Answered] Fake transparency with urxvt?

I'm trying to get fake transparency working with urxvt.  I can get real transparency Xcompmgr, but since I'm using Awesome I don't really need real transparency and I'd like to not  have to run Xcompmgr.  Can anyone take a look at my .Xdefaults file and see if they know why it's not working?

URxvt*geometry:                 85x30
urxvt*background:               rgba:0000/0000/0000/7777
URxvt*foreground:               #869EAD
URxvt*tintColor:                #dfdfdf
URxvt*inheritPixmap:            true
URxvt*reverseVideo:             false   
URxvt*tintColor:                #dfdfdf        
URxvt*fading:                   30              !term unfocus     
URxvt*font:                     xft:Terminus:pixelsize=5:antialias=true
URxvt*scrollBar:                false
URxvt*transparent: true
URxvt*shading: 70
URxvt*borderLess: true 
urxvt.depth: 32
urxvt*internalBorder: 4
urxvt.secondaryScroll: false
URxvt.termName: rxvt-unicode

Thanks!

You have to use 24 bit colors when not using compositing:
urxvt.depth: 24 (instead of 32)
