 Hi,
 
 If I start a new urxvt terminal using the command,
 
  urxvt -name Terminal -fn xft:Monospace:pixelsize=11 -fade 20 +sb
 -depth 32 -fg white -bg rgba:2000/2000/2000/
 
 urxvt starts just the way I like it.
 But if I put this in ~/.Xresources, it would never work:
 
 Urxvt*background: rgba:2000/2000/2000/

I use URxvt*background: [95]#00, which applies a 95% transparency
to black. That might be useful to you.

 2) I also feel that only 2-3 colors are shown in the shell. But when I
 use weechat-curses all colors are shown. But linux command like ls and
 grep won't give me any colors.

Just a thought, do you need to say ls --color=auto? The dircolors
should, I believe, already be set up nicely.

 
 'tput setaf' wont output anything.
 
 Here is something I found in my .bashrc
 # set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we want color)
 case $TERM in
 xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;;
 esac

Note that RXVT isn't XTerm. You'll probably find that your $TERM is
'rxvt-unicode-256color'.

 
 
 Now I have installed both xfce terminal and xterm.
 
 Any inputs would be greatly appreciated!

Yes that did it. Thanks a lot. I was also having 'r' small instead of capital.

 Note that RXVT isn't XTerm. You'll probably find that your $TERM is
 'rxvt-unicode-256color'.

Yes and I changed that in the .bashrc too. But didn't help much.

However uncommenting the line
force_color_prompt=yes

did make my prompt (user@hostname:$) coloured.

But that was the same color as my background. Made it
look even more uglier.
