Urxvt transparency in Xfce4

samuele.mattiuzzo · 2010-05-27 15:35:29

Hi all, i'm back to xfce4, but i cannot see my urxvt transparency. When i was using awesome i had xcompmgr running for it, but now it does nothing (someone told me to use xcompmgr -c -C but it freezes all the desktop and doesn't work)

This is my .Xdefaults

urxvt*scrollBar:       false
urxvt*borderLess:      false
urxvt*buffered:         true
urxvt*depth:            32
urxvt*transparent:      false
urxvt*cursorColor:      white
urxvt*underlineColor:   yellow
urxvt*geometry: 65x15
urxvt*externalBorder:   0
urxvt*internalBorder:   0

urxvt*tintColor:        #ffffff
urxvt*background:       rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd
urxvt*foreground:       #ffffff
urxvt*fadeColor:        black
urxvt*shading:          75
urxvt*inheritPixmap:    true
urxvt*pointerColor:     black
urxvt*pointerColor2:    white

urxvt*font:             xft:Monospace:pixelsize=10:antialias=true
urxvt*boldFont:         xft:Monospace:bold:pixelsize=10:antialias=true    
urxvt*perl-ext-common:  default
urxvt*perl-ext:        default,matcher
urxvt*urlLauncher:     /usr/bin/chromium
urxvt*matcher.button:  1

what to have it working? what am i doing wrong?
thanks!

Assuming you are using xfwm4, the default window manager, you will need to enable the composite effects via (I think this is correct, I don't have xfce4 installed atm) Settings Manager -> Window Manager.

there's no such options there yes, i'm using xfwm4

comment out:

urxvt*depth:            32

lower value to 50 or sumthin:

urxvt*shading:          75

try hex valued colors:

!urxvt*background:       rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd
urxvt*background:       #cccccc

hope this helps
