Were reading about prompt colors, found this handy script:
Code: | #!/bin/bash
#
# This file echoes a bunch of color codes to the
# terminal to demonstrate what's available. Each
# line is the color code of one forground color,
# out of 17 (default + 16 escapes), followed by a
# test use of that color on all nine background
# colors (default + 8 escapes).
#
T='gYw' # The test text
echo -e "\n 40m 41m 42m 43m\
44m 45m 46m 47m";
for FGs in ' m' ' 1m' ' 30m' '1;30m' ' 31m' '1;31m' ' 32m' \
'1;32m' ' 33m' '1;33m' ' 34m' '1;34m' ' 35m' '1;35m' \
' 36m' '1;36m' ' 37m' '1;37m';
do FG=${FGs// /}
echo -en " $FGs \033[$FG $T "
for BG in 40m 41m 42m 43m 44m 45m 46m 47m;
do echo -en "$EINS \033[$FG\033[$BG $T \033[0m";
done
echo;
done

Also, is possible to combine a picture as tint pixmap on urxvt. I like to use texture pattern ones (check the cap below).
To do something likely, will need this extra argument:
Code: | urxv -pixmap "/path/to/file.png;:style=tiled" |
I use to add it at the end, not sure if is correct, but it works just fine:
Code: | urxvt -sr +st -tr -tint chocolate -sh 51 -cr green -bg black -fg moccasin -pixmap "/path/to/file.png;:style=tiled" |
There are plenty of pages with patterns to try, I got some from here. Have fun!

Script |
|
I've made a silly script to exec an instance of urxvt with "random" settings on foreground and background colors, font and tint (transparency - opacity) level.
Check the screeny below, to see what im meaning with this.
Ill post a script modified to work without arguments, random setting only.
Replace the "FUENTES" array with font names that are on ur system and would like those on the console (check for those on mtpaint or gfontsel).
The original version of the script (with some more goodies that I use often) is here.
Regards.

Check this links, (p)review of some good fonts (download links too).
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/10/revisiting-programming-fonts.html
http://hivelogic.com/articles/top-10-programming-fonts/
(Inconsolata, Audimat Pro, Ubuntu mono and Lucida Console are my favorites for urxvt, in that order as screeny shows).

Very nice techniques, thanks for sharing. Will definitely play around with them this weekend.

Feel the need of post this here...
Change the font on the fly (either way):
Code: | printf '\33]50;%s\007' 9x15,xft:FontName |
Code: | printf '\33]50;%s\007' xft:"Font Name":pixelsize=10:size=9:hinting=true |
I'll quote this one, from `man 7 urxvt`:
Quote: | I don't like the screen colours. How do I change them?
You can change the screen colours at run-time using ~/.Xdefaults resources (or as long-options).
[...]
And here is a more complete set of non-standard colours.
URxvt.cursorColor: #dc74d1
URxvt.pointerColor: #dc74d1
URxvt.background: #0e0e0e
URxvt.foreground: #4ad5e1
URxvt.color0: #000000
URxvt.color8: #8b8f93
URxvt.color1: #dc74d1
URxvt.color9: #dc74d1
URxvt.color2: #0eb8c7
URxvt.color10: #0eb8c7
URxvt.color3: #dfe37e
URxvt.color11: #dfe37e
URxvt.color5: #9e88f0
URxvt.color13: #9e88f0
URxvt.color6: #73f7ff
URxvt.color14: #73f7ff
URxvt.color7: #e1dddd
URxvt.color15: #e1dddd
|
I tested it and worked as a charm (overwrite the system colours, as other terminals does).

Here are a couple of urxvt settings that I use and love:
Light brown and white:
Code: | urxvt -vb +st -tr -cr green -tint moccasin -pr green -pr2 antiquewhite -sh 54 -bg moccasin -fg antiquewhite -fn xft:Inconsolata:pixelsize=12:antialias=true:hinting=true |
Orange and light yellow:
Code: | urxvt -sr +st -tr -tint chocolate -sh 51 -fn "xft:Inconsolata:size=10" -cr green -bg black -fg moccasin |
Blue and white:
Code: | urxvt -vb +st -tr -cr green -tint steelblue -pr green -pr2 snow -sh 60 -bg steelblue -fg snow -fn xft:Inconsolata:pixelsize=12:antialias=true:hinting=true |
Gold (yellow?) and white:
Code: | urxvt -vb +st -tr -cr green -tint gold -pr green -pr2 snow -sh 44 -bg gold -fg snow -fn xft:Inconsolata:pixelsize=12:antialias=true:hinting=true |
Transparent 100% for dark wallpapers:
Code: | urxvt -vb +st -tr -cr green -tint white -pr green -pr2 green -sh 100 -bg white -fg green -fn xft:Inconsolata:pixelsize=12:antialias=true:hinting=true |
The other options are just settings: remove, edit, change, explore at your will.

Hello, Gustavo.
Thanks for these combinations. I like the one with "chocolate" transparency.
About the inconsolata font: I can't find it... (Or maybe you are inconsolable, for some reason ?!)
As a note, the correct spelling is hinting, not "hingting". Also, what is the difference in effect for the font between "hinting=true" and "autohint=true" ? Thanks in advance.
Bye for now.

maik.murks (whatever happened to him and his mysterious puplet?..) did a whole thread on fonts:

Inconsolata is there.
