[SOLVED] urxvt cursor shape

yabasta · 2010-06-20 14:08:59

Hi i'm trying to find out how to change the cursor shape in urxvt, hopefully a blinking underscore if i can. I've already found out how to get the cursor blinking but atm the cursor is the default (i presume) upright solid rectangle. I'm pretty sure it'll be an .Xdefaults setting, but can't seem to find out what, if it's at all possible that is. any ideas folks?

From the man page:

-uc|+uc
           Make the cursor underlined; resource cursorUnderline.

Cheers for this tip, seems like I've overlooked this feature.

Can we change the color of the underline cursor?

It's the same color as text.

Unfortunately that sets for all underlines, not just the cursor.
