I'm just wondering if it's even possible to run urxvt with true transparency, without adding command line arguments. I've tried urxvt*depth:32 and urxvt*bg:rgba:1000/1000/1000/cccc in .Xdefaults, and several permutations of scripts/hints found on the web, to no avail. urxvt -bg rgba:1000/1000/1000/cccc works as it should. Is there something obvious I'm missing, or is it just not an option?
Oops, if I had only read it before posting it... that should be urxvt*background, not urxvt*bg. Somewhere during my fiddling I changed that to match the command-line syntax just on the off chance. It didn't change anything when I first edited it, but apparently I've hit the magic config now. Never mind

For future reference, read urxvt(7)

You're wrong. Try it.

@trent...
could you post your .Xdefaults...? thanks.

urxvt*transparent: true
urxvt*shading: 15
that will give you transparency in URxvt

Here's the relevant part:
urxvt*depth:32
urxvt*foreground:#B0B0B0
urxvt*background:rgba:2000/2000/2000/cccc
@ShortError: the transparent resource turns on pseudo transparency, not true transparency.
