[gentoo-user] rxvt-unicode has no transparency right after upgrade
hi: I upgraded rxvt-unicode within just one or two days, right after a upgrade to version 9.09, it does not support transparency any more, but my Xresources had been always working for me. post a snippet of my config file here, thanks.

(2) For pseudotransparency and tinting etc you need libafterimage installed and with rxvt-unicode built against it, look at 'emerge -pv rxvt-unicode' did you enable the afterimage USE? W -- Willie W.

I did emerge rxvt-unicode without the afterimage use flag, but there was no effect after enable it. by the way, libafterimage seems to be a new package, I have't seen it before upgrading rxvt-unicode to the current 9.09 version. thanks a lot for your help anyway. I'm considering downgrade my rxvt-unicode to verify this problem. W -- Willie W.

ok, everything is back to normal again, I downgraded my rxvt-unicode to 9.07-r2 and it worked as before. shall I report a bug or maybe I still missed something?

Go ahead and file a bug, but as pseudotransparency was never officially supported by rxvt-unicode (see their FAQ on it), I'm not sure if upstream will actually fix it. Cheers, W -- Willie W.

It stopped for some reason with this new version. I suspect they may have removed the hacks they talked about and now depend on a properly functioning window manager. I am using xfwm4 with compositing enabled. Setting the property now works with it. If that were indeed the case (that they are forcing migration away from pseudotransparency and into real transparency), then it'd have been nice if the +/-tr tags throw some error text rather than just being silently ignored.

It seems the newest version has the copy-background-to-pixmap method overriding true transparency if that is set by the resources. That's the opposite of the way it used to be, but otherwise works. I just had to remove the other background settings, such as .inheritPixmap and .tintColor, and it works again. -- Keith Dart -- -- ~ Keith Dart ke...@dartworks.biz public key: ID: 19017044 http://www.dartworks.biz/ =

I'm afraid I do not quite understand how to make it work, removed all transparency settings in Xresources already. I review the source code and found nothing special, no copy-background-to-pixmap method or the like. thanks -- Keith Dart -- -- ~ Keith Dart ke...@dartworks.biz public key: ID: 19017044 http://www.dartworks.biz/ =
