[SOLVED] - urxvt and not fully transperency?

ftornell · 2009-11-11 08:38:44

Hit,
Just testing urxvt and managed to get 100% full transparency to the background.
How can I change the rate fo the transperency lo like 80%?

Is it also just transperent to the desktop or can the apps in the background show under it?

This is my .Xdefault now:

URxvt.cursorBlink:   true
URxvt.cursorColor:   #FFFFFF
URxvt.cutchars:      "()*,<>\"[]{}|'"
URxvt.depth:         24
URxvt.geometry:      160x20
URxvt.inheritPixmap: true
URxvt.saveLines:   32874
URxvt.scrollBar:   false
URxvt.termName:    rxvt-unicode
URxvt.transparent: true
URxvt.urgentOnBell: true
URxvt.visualBell:  true

Add the lines:

URxvt*tintColor: white
URxvt*shading: 20

...and change the values accordingly (0 is full transparency).

This will only give you pixmapped transparency, ie., not real transparency - applications under Urxvt will not be displayed, only your wallpaper.

What you have at the moment is fake/pseudo trasparency.

If you want real transparency where you can see other applications etc through the terminal you need 2 things:
- Composite support in your window manager. Compiz, Metacity, XFWM and KDE's WM have this built in these days, for other WMs you may need to use xcompmgr / cairo compmgr.
- 32bit colors set in your Xdefaults:

URxvt.depth: 32
URxvt*background: [80]#111111
