from the frequently useful archlinux wiki: #### ! Xresources file URxvt*inheritPixmap: true URxvt*transparent: true ! URxvt*shading: 0 to 99 darkens, 101 to 200 lightens URxvt*shading: 110 Using the URxvt*background setting exemplified above instead of URxvt*shading will also work. Note: Avoid using shading if you have a URxvt.tintColor set. Use a different tintColor instead. #### See that last note? It's probably important. -dsr-
