Some rxvt-unicode tips

To use transparency in a urxvt terminal, run it like this.

urxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:3f00/3f00/3f00/dddd

This will spawn a translucent urxvt terminal window. Run it as shown below to give it a nicer white foreground colour and a blue background tint.

└─$ urxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:3000/2300/5100/ee00 -fg rgba:ff00/ff00/f100/fe00

The example below will add even more custom colours to the rxvt window.
