Thanks for the reply! Alright this is now driving me crazy. I created a new user (in case I have some weird setting somewhere in my /home) set a wallpaper using feh saved the following minimal .Xresources: ! Xresources file URxvt*inheritPixmap: true URxvt*transparent: true ! URxvt*shading: 0 to 99 darkens, 101 to 200 lightens URxvt*shading: 50 and ran xrdb on it to see if the problem comes from using tintColor and shading. but nope this gives me a greyish bg (and with shading 100 it works just as before). Am I missing some library or something like that? I feel pretty much lost now. regards -- Jonas Hedman PGP: 8F72 C5BE AAFA B4BA 8F46 9185 5C39 89E0 616B B08C
