409 There are two different methods that rxvt can use to get the Xresource
410 data: using the X libraries (Xrm*-functions) or internal Xresources
411 reader (~/.Xdefaults). For the first method (ie. rxvt -h lists
412 XGetDefaults), you can set and change the resources using X11 tools like 420 You can set and change the resources using X11 tools like xrdb. Many

423 If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. rxvt -h lists 431 Note that when reading X resources, rxvt recognizes two class names:
424 .Xdefaults) then rxvt accepts application defaults set in 432 Rxvt and URxvt. The class name Rxvt allows resources common to both rxvt

427 ~/.Xresources if ~/.Xdefaults does not exist. Note that when reading X
428 resources, rxvt recognizes two class names: XTerm and URxvt. The class
429 name Rxvt allows resources common to both rxvt and the original *rxvt*
430 to be easily configured, while the class name URxvt allows resources
431 unique to rxvt, notably colours and key-handling, to be shared between

1175 get their act together, rxvt-unicode will support

1178 specifications, in addition to the ones provided by X, where the
1179 additional A component specifies alpha (opacity) values (0 is completely
1180 transparent and the maximum is opaque). You probably need to specify
1181 "-depth 32", too, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
1182 layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box,
1183 and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
