simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should
give you tabs:</p>
<pre>
- rxvt -pe tabbed</pre>
+ urxvt -pe tabbed</pre>
<pre>
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed</pre>
<p>It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers

<p>1. Use inheritPixmap:</p>
<pre>
Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
- rxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40</pre>
+ urxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40</pre>
<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
support, or you are unable to read.</p>
<p>2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you
your picture with gimp or any other tool:</p>
<pre>
convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
- rxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background</pre>
+ urxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background</pre>
<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support, or you
are unable to read.</p>
<p>3. Use an ARGB visual:</p>
<pre>
- rxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc</pre>
+ urxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc</pre>
<p>This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that
doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't
there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary
e.g.:</pre>
<pre>
- rxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3...</pre>
+ urxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3...</pre>
<pre>
When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base
rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.</p>
<p>If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
-<strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For
+<strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>urxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For
example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify
this <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource:</p>
<pre>
<pre>
# use Backspace = ^H
$ stty erase ^H
- $ rxvt</pre>
+ $ urxvt</pre>
<pre>
# use Backspace = ^?
$ stty erase ^?
- $ rxvt</pre>
+ $ urxvt</pre>
<p>Toggle with <code>ESC [ 36 h</code> / <code>ESC [ 36 l</code>.</p>
<p>For an existing rxvt-unicode:</p>
<pre>
<p>There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless
you have run ``configure'' with the <a href="#item__2d_2ddisable_2dresources"><code>--disable-resources</code></a> option you can
use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with keysyms.</p>
-<p>Here's an example for a URxvt session started using <code>rxvt -name URxvt</code></p>
+<p>Here's an example for a URxvt session started using <code>urxvt -name URxvt</code></p>

<code>enacs=\E[0@</code> and try again.</p>
