124</dt>
125<dd>
126Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
127applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads
128resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
129ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read
130<em>$HOME/.Xdefaults</em> when no resources are attached to the display.
131</dd>
132<dd>
133<p>If you have or use an <em>$HOME/.Xresources</em> file, chances are that
134resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to
135re-login after every change (or run <em>xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources</em>).</p>
136</dd>
137<dd>
138<p>Also consider the form resources have to use:</p>
139</dd>
140<dd>
141<pre>
142 URxvt.resource: value</pre>
143</dd>
144<dd>
145<p>If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of
146specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it
147works. If unsure, use the form above.</p>
148</dd>

150<dt><strong><a name="item_i_can_27t_get_transparency_working_2c_what_am_i_do">I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?</a></strong><br />
151</dt>
152<dd>
153First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode, so
154you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may
155bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite
156of passage: ... and you failed.
157</dd>
158<dd>
159<p>Here are four ways to get transparency. <strong>Do</strong> read the manpage and option
160descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it!</p>
161</dd>
162<dd>
163<p>1. Use inheritPixmap:</p>
164</dd>
165<dd>
166<pre>
167 Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
168 rxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40</pre>
169</dd>
170<dd>
171<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
172support, or you are unable to read.</p>
173</dd>
174<dd>
175<p>2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you
176to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever
177your picture with gimp:</p>
178</dd>
179<dd>
180<pre>
181 convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
182 rxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background</pre>
183</dd>
184<dd>
185<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support, or you
186are unable to read.</p>
187</dd>
188<dd>
189<p>3. Use an ARGB visual:</p>
190</dd>
191<dd>
192<pre>
193 rxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc</pre>
194</dd>
195<dd>
196<p>This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that
197doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't
198there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary
199bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that
200doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place.</p>
201</dd>
202<dd>
203<p>4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job:</p>
204</dd>
205<dd>
206<pre>
207 xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \
208 -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000</pre>
209</dd>
210<dd>
211<p>Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace <code>0xc0000000</code>
212by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and
213your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces.</p>

293Likely not. While I honestly try to make it secure, and am probably not 391It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly
294bad at it, I think it is simply unreasonable to expect all of freetype 392install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now.
295+ fontconfig + xft + xlib + perl + ... + rxvt-unicode itself to all be
296secure. Also, rxvt-unicode disables some options when it detects that it
297runs setuid or setgid, which is not nice. Besides, with the embedded perl
298interpreter the possibility for security problems easily multiplies.
299</dd>
300<dd> 393</dd>
301<p>Elevated privileges are only required for utmp and pty operations on some
302systems (for example, GNU/Linux doesn't need any extra privileges for
303ptys, but some need it for utmp support). It is planned to mvoe this into
304a forked handler process, but this is not yet done.</p>
305</dd> 394<dd>
395<p>When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork
396into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some
397systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges
398immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep
399privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains
400things as perl interpreters, which might be ``helpful'' to attackers).</p>
306<dd> 401</dd>
307<p>So, while setuid/setgid operation is supported and not a problem on your 402<dd>

1990<h1><a name="menubar">menuBar</a></h1>
1991<p><strong>The exact syntax used is <em>almost</em> solidified. </strong>&gt;
1992In the menus, <strong>DON'T</strong> try to use menuBar commands that add or remove a
1993menuBar.</p>
1994<p>Note that in all of the commands, the <strong><em>/path/</em> </strong>&gt; <em>cannot</em> be
1995omitted: use <strong>./</strong> to specify a menu relative to the current menu.</p>
1996<p>
1997</p>
1998<h2><a name="overview_of_menubar_operation">Overview of menuBar operation</a></h2>
1999<p>For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence <code>ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST</code>, the syntax
2000of <a href="#item_pt"><code>Pt</code></a> can be used for a variety of tasks:</p>
2001<p>At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
2002linked-list of other such menuBars.</p>
2003<p>The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
2004turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.</p>
2005<p>The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
2006input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.</p>
2007<p>The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
2008constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
2009menuBars.</p>
2010<p>The first step is to use the tag <strong>[menu:<em>name</em>] </strong>&gt; which creates
2011the menuBar called <em>name</em> and allows access. You may now or menus,
2012subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag <strong>[done]</strong> to set the
2013menuBar access as <strong>readonly</strong> to prevent accidental corruption of the
2014menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
2015<strong>[menu]</strong>, make the alterations and then use <strong>[done]</strong></p>
