COMMENT(-- $Id: rxvt-resources.yo,v 1.3 2003/12/18 00:38:07 pcg Exp $ --) COMMENT(----------------------------------------------------------------------) manpagesection(RESOURCES (available also as long-options)) Note: `rxvt --help' gives a list of all resources (long options) compiled into your version. If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. bf(rxvt -h) lists bf(.Xdefaults)) then bf(rxvt) accepts application defaults set in XAPPLOADDIR/Rxvt (compile-time defined: usually bf(/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt)) and resources set in bf(~/.Xdefaults), or bf(~/.Xresources) if bf(~/.Xdefaults) does not exist. Note that when reading X resources, bf(rxvt) recognizes two class names: bf(XTerm) and bf(Rxvt). The class name bf(XTerm) allows resources common to both bf(rxvt) and em(xterm) to be easily configured, while the class name bf(Rxvt) allows resources unique to bf(rxvt), notably colours and key-handling, to be shared between different bf(rxvt) configurations. If no resources are specified, suitable defaults will be used. Command-line arguments can be used to override resource settings. The following resources are allowed: startdit() dit(bf(geometry:) em(geom)) Create the window with the specified X window geometry [default 80x24]; option bf(-geometry). dit(bf(background:) em(colour)) Use the specified colour as the window's background colour [default White]; option bf(-bg). dit(bf(foreground:) em(colour)) Use the specified colour as the window's foreground colour [default Black]; option bf(-fg). dit(bf(color)em(n)bf(:) em(colour)) Use the specified colour for the colour value em(n), where 0-7 corresponds to low-intensity (normal) colours and 8-15 corresponds to high-intensity (bold = bright foreground, blink = bright background) colours. The canonical names are as follows: 0=black, 1=red, 2=green, 3=yellow, 4=blue, 5=magenta, 6=cyan, 7=white, but the actual colour names used are listed in the bf(COLORS AND GRAPHICS) section. dit(bf(colorBD:) em(colour)) Use the specified colour to display bold characters when the foreground colour is the default. dit(bf(colorUL:) em(colour)) Use the specified colour to display underlined characters when the foreground colour is the default. dit(bf(colorRV:) em(colour)) Use the specified colour as the background for reverse video characters. dit(bf(cursorColor:) em(colour)) Use the specified colour for the cursor. The default is to use the foreground colour; option bf(-cr). dit(bf(cursorColor2:) em(colour)) Use the specified colour for the colour of the cursor text. For this to take effect, bf(cursorColor) must also be specified. The default is to use the background colour. dit(bf(reverseVideo:) em(boolean)) bf(True): simulate reverse video by foreground and background colours; option bf(-rv). bf(False): regular screen colours [default]; option bf(+rv). See note in bf(COLORS AND GRAPHICS) section. dit(bf(jumpScroll:) em(boolean)) bf(True): specify that jump scrolling should be used. When scrolling quickly, fewer screen updates are performed [default]; option bf(-j). bf(False): specify that smooth scrolling should be used; option bf(+j). dit(bf(inheritPixmap:) em(boolean)) bf(True): make the background inherit the parent windows' pixmap, giving artificial transparency. bf(False): do not inherit the parent windows' pixmap. dit(bf(scrollColor:) em(colour)) Use the specified colour for the scrollbar [default #B2B2B2]. dit(bf(troughColor:) em(colour)) Use the specified colour for the scrollbar's trough area [default #969696].

A scale of 0 displays the image with tiling. A scale of 1 displays the image without any scaling. A scale of 2 to 9 specifies an integer number of images in that direction. No image will be magnified beyond 10 times its original size. The maximum permitted scale is 1000. [default 0x0+50+50] dit(bf(menu:) em(file[;tag])) Read in the specified menu file (note the `.menu' extension is optional) and also optionally specify a starting tag to find.
