     This tries to create a new terminal, and if fails with exit status 2,
     meaning it couldn't connect to the daemon, it will start the daemon and
     re-run the command. Subsequent invocations of the script will re-use the
     existing daemon.

     The original rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable
     "COLORTERM", so you can check and see if that is set. Note that several

    How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable?
     If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled
     insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script
     snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode

   Rendering, Font & Look and Feel Issues

     Here are four ways to get transparency. Do read the manpage and option
     descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it!
     1. Use transparent mode:
     your picture with gimp or any other tool:
        convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.jpg
        urxvt -pixmap "background.jpg;:root"
-    That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack AfterImage support, or you

     3. Use an ARGB visual:
        urxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc
     For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the text
     blink when compiled with "--enable-text-blink". Without
     "--enable-text-blink", the blink attribute will be ignored.

     Here are values that are supposed to resemble a VGA screen, including
     the murky brown that passes for low-intensity yellow:
        URxvt.color12:  #0000FF
        URxvt.color13:  #FF00FF
        URxvt.color14:  #00FFFF
        URxvt.color15:  #FFFFFF

+    And here is a more complete set of non-standard colours.
        URxvt.cursorColor:  #dc74d1

        URxvt.background:   #0e0e0e
        URxvt.foreground:   #4ad5e1
     Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the
     debian policy of using "^?" when unsure, because it's the one and only
     correct choice :).
-    Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the
+    It is possible to toggle between "^H" and "^?" with the DECBKM private
-    value of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode
+    mode:
-    wasn't started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell),
-    then the system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in
-    <termios.h>, will be used (which may not be the same as your stty
-    setting).
-    For starting a new rxvt-unicode:
        # use Backspace = ^H
        $ stty erase ^H
-       $ urxvt
+       $ echo -n "^[[?67h"
        # use Backspace = ^?
        $ stty erase ^?
-       $ urxvt
-    Toggle with "ESC [ 36 h" / "ESC [ 36 l".
-    For an existing rxvt-unicode:
-       # use Backspace = ^H
-       $ stty erase ^H
-       $ echo -n "^[[36h"
-       # use Backspace = ^?
-       $ stty erase ^?
-       $ echo -n "^[[36l"
+       $ echo -n "^[[?67l"
     This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
     if you use Backspace = "^H", make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
     properly reflects that.
     keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something complicated
     (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font.
     The above is all in my ".Xdefaults" (I don't use ".Xresources" nor
     "xrdb"). I also have some resources in a separate ".Xdefaults-hostname"

+    file for different hosts, for example, on my main desktop, I use:

        URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: command:\033[3;1605;606t
     The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A
     possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like

-    Are you sure you need 256 colors? 88 colors should be enough for most

-    in the doc directory, but please do not ask for it to be applied.
