Urxvt tips, tricks, configs

To help with next release of Awesome Archbang, starting a thread on Urxvt.

urxvt.font:             xft: Dejavu Sans Mono:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9
urxvt.background:       black
urxvt.foreground:       white
urxvt.scrollBar:        false
urxvt.tintColor:        white
urxvt.fading:           15
urxvt.fadeColor:        black
urxvt.shading:          45
urxvt.inheritPixmap:    true
urxvt.pointerColor:     black
urxvt.pointerColor2:    white
urxvt.borderless:    true    

From my .Xdefaults [Credits to Arch Linux forums]

Did have to add decor no line to rc.xml to get rid of borders...

Re: Urxvt tips, tricks, configs

bringing back an old thread, but I've been using urxvt recently and found a nice, but crude-looking, tip

If you start it up with "-pe tabbed" you get a tabbed terminal.   Like I said, the tabbing is crude, but it's clickable and works

$ urxvt -pe tabbed

I was just using the fluxbox tabbing method, but if I have three instances of urxvt tabbed,  my taskbar (obviously) shows three terminals.  Using the native tabbing means one instance of three tabs which looks a lot nicer me.

One other nice feature is that if something is running in terminal 1 and you're in terminal 2, you will be notified

For example (you run a command in '1' and hop over to '2')

Your table bar will look like this
NEW |  1  |  2  |

When the command in 1 completes, your taskbar changes to this

NEW  | *1* |  2  |
