How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using?
The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape
sequence "ESC [ 8 n" sets the window title to the version number. When

Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that?

worse, as rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell.

How do I distinguish wether I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? I need this to decide about setting colors etc.
1. Use inheritPixmap:
Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
- rxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40
+ urxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40
That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
support, or you are unable to read.
your picture with gimp or any other tool:
convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
- rxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
+ urxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support, or
you are unable to read.
3. Use an ARGB visual:
- rxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc
+ urxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc
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
In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list,
e.g.:
- rxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3...
+ urxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3...
When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base font.
If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the next
If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
- PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS in the rxvtperl(3) manpage. For example, to
+ PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS in the urxvtperl(3) manpage. For example, to
disable the selection-popup and option-popup, specify this
perl-ext-common resource:
# use Backspace = ^H
$ stty erase ^H
- $ rxvt
+ $ urxvt
# use Backspace = ^?
$ stty erase ^?
- $ rxvt
+ $ urxvt
Toggle with "ESC [ 36 h" / "ESC [ 36 l".
use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with
keysyms.
- Here's an example for a URxvt session started using "rxvt -name URxvt"
+ Here's an example for a URxvt session started using "urxvt -name URxvt"
URxvt.keysym.Home: \033[1~
URxvt.keysym.End: \033[4~
Most likely it's the empty definition for "enacs=". Just replace it by
"enacs=\E[0@" and try again.

Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is
font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which
must be the same due to the way terminals work.
