urxvt true transparency troubles (titlebar goes transparent too)

thayer · 2007-09-23 19:03:02

I'm running Openbox/GNOME under XGL/Xcompmgr with ATI's fglrx drivers. I'm trying to enable true transparency for urxvt, but for some reason when I set the transparency in ~/.Xdefaults the entire window (including titlebar) become transparent. Furthermore, the titlebar becomes nearly invisible even though the terminal window is almost opaque.

From what I've seen in screenshots, urxvt is supposed to make only the terminal portion of the window transparent. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Is there a workaround?

Xcompmgr flags:

xcompmgr -c -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55

Pertinent ~/.Xdefaults settings:

urxvt*background:   rgba:0000/0000/0000/eeee
urxvt*fading:        10
urxvt*shading:        30
urxvt*tintColor:   grey
urxvt*depth:        32
urxvt*inheritPixmap:        true

Thanks for any advice!
