You're probably seen italics instead of reverse and your urxvt isn't configured with an italics capable font. Screen makes a mess out of italics and reverse, and tmux doesn't anymore (since 1.5). If you want to know more, you can read about it in our previous discussion here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=ioag1a%24g2k%241%40dough.gmane.org&forum_name=tmux-users Now you have two choices: a) fix your terminfo entries and get reverse + italics (a bit worksome); or b) just get rid of italics altogether and always get reverse (quite easy). If you choose a), follow the instruction in the FAQ: http://tmux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tmux/trunk/FAQ It's the last question, titled "vim displays reverse video instead of italics, while less displays italics (or just regular text) instead of reverse. What's wrong?" If you choose b), just add to your .tmux.conf: set -g terminal-overrides 'rxvt-unicode*:sitm@,ritm@' (and don't forget to restart the server) Hope that helps.
