Any URxvt setting to make the cursor in vim have inverted text color?

In lxterminal or gnome-terminal, when I use vim, the cursor within the text is always the inverted text color, thereby guaranteeing that with any color scheme the text remains readable (the cursor seems "transparent").

With xterm or urxvt the cursor color within vim always stays the same (foreground/background color in .Xresources), but I like that "inverted" cursor behaviour in vim I get with lxterminal.

Is there some setting for urxvt I don't know of for to do this? Or is there some setting in vim to force it somehow?

Thanks in advance!
