Hi,

I like to run vi/tmux/urxvt over awesomewm, but since vim released version 9, I've had issues with my color schemes where many of the colors in my code don't appear.

I start urxvt as follows:
Code:
urxvt -display :0.0 -geometry 80x80+265+50 -cr red +sb -fg aquamarine -fn fixed -fb fixed -e tmux &


I used to have -bg black, but I think that's what caused many of my colors to go black and I can't read text.

What I'm looking for is a recent term that:
1) has transparency in my terms, maybe a way to shade a bit darker
2) see the default vim color schemes.
3) runs w/o decorations.

Or is urxvt still the way to go? I've just not been able to get it to be transparent, and forcing the background to a darker color doesn't work well with vim color schemes.

Thoughts?

For transparency, you have to tell urxvt via the transparent Xresource (man urxvt). See the Xdefault and Xresource files here for some examples: https://github.com/fvwm-crystal/fvwm-crystal/tree/main/addons
