[SOLVED] How to make URxvt look like default XTerm?

I don't want to install terminus-font or something else. Just want to make XTerm and URxvt look equal.
I prefer URxvt over XTerm for its performance, but default URxvt looks ugly comparing to default XTerm: for example default bitmap font (fixed) is broken whereas it looks beatiful on XTerm.
Also colors in URxvt do not match to those in console and XTerm (which seem to be the same) - highlighted directories, executables, prompt, etc which seem to be darker.
How do I fix it?
Help is appreciated, as always.
Thanks.

I believe the default xterm fonts are listed in /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. I may be wrong but I think you want to specify the urxvt font as:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1
This will be incorrect if you do not have the xorg-fonts-75dpi package installed. If you don't have that package installed, I'm not sure what font is used in its place by either emulator.
WIthout specifying the terminal colors in my ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources file, I also found the two terminals' colors do not appear the same. I have configured the colors so they are identical in both apps. This excerpt from my .Xdefaults uses the asterisk, *, as a wild card so the colors I have chosen apply to both terminals.

How to make HD look like 4K

I found this article rather interesting. If I had to try and make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, I would read this one again.
RedShark News - How to make HD look like 4K

I'd forgotten about RedShark in general ... thanks for the heads-up.
And the point about the "impression" being at times more important than the reality (especially if not well handled) is well taken. Working professional stills for many years now ... I've had large prints that even at close inspection looked much cleaner, sharper, and less noisy than other photog's made who had "larger" sensors ... but did their post not as righteously as I did. How you set up & shoot the image/s in the first place matters ... as does how you handle your post & output.
Craft matters ...

How to make it look like the actors are watching TV

Hi,
I am looking to add an effect in Adobe Premiere Pro CC to make it look like the actors are watching TV in the dark. Just a soft pulsating, bluish-white light that may vary throughout. Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried scouring the internet but haven't found much. I'm a beginner for sure, but trying to learn!
Thanks so much,
-Andy

In the effects panel type "light" in the search box. This will bring up all the lighting effects in Pr. Adjusr/Lighting or Stylize/Strobe might work for you. There are a lot of adjustments you can key in until you find what suits your needs.

How to make it look like the camera is following a zig zagging line

I have an animated video where a person clicks a button and an arrow appears coming out of the right side of the computer. I would like to make it look like the camera follows the arrow as it zooms along a zig zag path and eventually ends at another computer. Does anyone know of any good tutorials for this?
Thanks,
Paul

This is just a matter of keyframes for camera position and point of interest.You are probably not going to find a tutorial that exactly matches your project. Try this:
Open up 2 views, one active camera, one top view.
Set a position keyframe for the camera where you want the movement to start.
Drag the point of interest to point at your subject (animated arrow)
Using the top view and setting the CTI (current time indicator) to the end point of the camera move, move the camera's point of interest to the same position as the animated arrow
Still in the top view, move the camera to it's final position
Using the pen tool (keyboard shortcut g) add points to the camera position path and drag them into a zig zag shape using the top view
Selecting the Point of interest in the timeline, adjust the position of the point of interest to follow the arrow as it animates across the screen by moving the CTI and setting new positions.
Another thing you could do would be just to use a lookAt expression for point of interest. This would keep the camera pointed at the arrow.
Hope this helps. Animating a camera is one of the most basic skills an AE artist should have. It takes a bit of practice but it's not hard.

How to make it look like this in Premiere Pro CC?

So, I have 2 videos and I want to make it like this. How to do that?
Thanks!

Each Video track is numbered at the left, V1, V2, V3, etc. with higher number tracks covering lower number tracks. So put "Video 2" on V2, and use Scale and Position on Video 2 clip as directed by shooternz to create your PIP effect.
Thanks

How to make images look like live website for presentation?

I've created a website mockup in Photoshop and need to present them online to a client. I'm wondering if there's a simple app or technique of how I can "play" the images so they feel like they're scrolling up and down or page to page like a live website? No clicking necessary, but maybe a nice 60 second loop "movie" (?) of the images in the browswer so they get the feel of how things will flow from page to page. Any creative ideas or links of others that have done this? Cheers.

How to make yourself look like a midget

I take it you can do this in real life but how would you most go about doing it in after effects? Any tips or good tutorials I can watch? thanks

You'd simply scale the layer until you appear tiny. Either way, for this kind of stuff the success is in properly planning the shoot to match lighting and perspective of the 2 different scenes, not so much in the post production process...

I used to be able to make FF look like IE with a button. I don't see the button anymore.

Some sites require IE e.g. Microsoft Update. I can't figure out how to make FF look like IE the way I used to do.

Did you have an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/92382/ IE Tab 2 (FF 3.6+)] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909/ IE Tab Plus (FF 3.6+)].

Problem syncronizing my iPod Shuffle. iTunes makes it look like I have 2.

I have a new iPod generation 2 Shuffle. For some reason wnem I connect it to my USB port, it makes it look like I have 2 different iPod Shuffles. The first one shown under iTunes is as I registered it and says "Brad's iPod". The second one just says "iPod", yet shows the same serial number as shown under the first one with my name. I keep getting an error message when the second pops up and says that it seems that the iPod is corrupted and suggests I select the option to reset everything as it was with original factory settings. It prevents mefrom synchronizing my iPod.
Why is this doing this? Is there anyway to delete the second "instance" of the iPod being shown under the name of simply "iPod"? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Brad

How to make website look correct in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome?

Hello there. I'm working on a website which was inherited to me by someone who died. So I am left with all of his coding which is about 4 years old. Now I'm working on positioning of the website and i've found that the only browser the website looks like it's supposed to is Safari and I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it look right in all the browsers and on a phone or tablet. It might be easier if I started from scratch but unfortunately I don't get that luxury. Please help me.
Here's a link...MuseumOfNaturalistory.com

I dont understand what some of these errors are asking of me. For instance, this one...
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)

This message may appear in several cases:
You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "<"
You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&", which is always safe.
Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a previous tag.
That's the way the code has to be in order to function. What does it want from me?
And then here....
Line 71, Column 5: an attribute value must be a literal unless it contains only name characters </div>✉You have used a character that is not considered a "name character" in an attribute value. Which characters are considered "name characters" varies between the different document types, but a good rule of thumb is that unless the value contains only lower or upper case letters in the range a-z you must put quotation marks around the value. In fact, unless you have extreme file size requirements it is a very very good idea to always put quote marks around your attribute values. It is never wrong to do so, and very often it is absolutely necessary.
Line 71, Column 5: character "<" is not allowed in the value of attribute "id" </div>✉It is possible that you violated the naming convention for this attribute. For example, id and name attributes must begin with a letter, not a digit.
I have absolutely no clue what it is asking of me. Doesn't it have to be that way? Also why when I go to "Line 71" that isn't where this actual code is? Is there some special way to decipher this?
