[SOLVED] Transparent URxvt position in Openbox

I've followed the "Urxvt in the background" topic in the ArchWiki Openbox entry. I am unable to get the terminal to appear anywhere but the upper right corner. I have tried various changes to the postion settings in the application section of the rc.xml file with no effect. It also doesn't seem to be on the bottom layer, as other windows can be moved below it. It also doesn't have focus.
My current application section is rc.xml
<application name="urxvt">
<decor>no</decor>
<focus>yes</focus>
<position>
<x>-5</x>
<y>0</y>
</position>
<layer>below</layer>
<desktop>all</desktop>
</application>

That didn't work either. Here is what I have found, after further experimenting...
Here is my .Xdefaults file
URxvt*transparent:true
URxvt*scrollBar: false
#URxvt*borderLess: true
URxvt*foreground: White
And here is my current rc.xml file
<application name="urxvt">
<decor>no</decor>
<focus>yes</focus>
<position>
<x>-5</x>
<y>5</y>
</position>
<layer>below</layer>
<desktop>1</desktop>
</application>
As shown above, my terminal appears as transparent, on the desktop, and in the upper right-hand corner, but with a black border. If I uncomment the "URxvt*borderLess: true" line the terminal appears in the upper left-hand corner and borderless. It is as though this line causes the position section in the rc.xml file to be ingnored.:(

  • [solved] Transparent vim in pseudo-transp. urxvt?

    Hi,
    currently I'm using pseudo-transparency in rxvt-unicode-256color.
    Can I have this transparency in vim too? When I start vim the background is set to black.
    My .Xdefaults:
    URxvt.saveLines: 1000
    URxvt.scrollBar: false
    urxvt*depth: 24
    urxvt*shading: 80

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks bluewind,
    I found out that the reason was this line:
    call <SID>X("Normal", "cccccc", "000000", "")
    I commented it out and added a new line with ctermbg=NONE.
    I guess I could have entered NONE also in the other line? What does it stand for?
    It's a function to set colors. (search for "fun <SID>X" in the file to see what it does)
    call <SID>X("Normal", "cccccc", "NONE", "")
    should also remove the background.

  • [SOLVED] awesome & urxvt results in some screen flickering

    Hi,
    i've been using awesome since a few weeks and i noticed a flickering problem when starting urxvt (via mod4+enter).
    urxvt starts, disappears, comes back again, disappears and so on.
    starting up urxvt (time until i get a usable promt) takes about 1-2 seconds.
    However, i don't know how to track the problem down. Maybe it is urxvt's (i think it is), maybe it is awesome's or even ati's fault (using 2.6.32 with open source ati driver).
    when i switch between multiple windows (using mod4+n) only urxvt windows are flickering. Switching between gui-apps (ff, dolphin, …) works as expected.
    maybe someone has an idea about this …

  • [SOLVED] Transparency in termite gone

    So, the title states it pretty well.
    Updated last night, went to bed, booted everything like normally, woah! Transparency isn't working!
    And I'm pretty sure termite is to blame, somehow... But I don't know why.
    I've tested other terminals to rule it out a bit, it works just fine in my old terminal, urxvt.
    It's also seemingly not the fault of xcompmgr. I tried using compton, the same situation exists.
    I'll just leave my last update log here, since I have no idea what to do. Maybe it's just something really obvious I'm missing.
    I tried re-installing termite today, with no success.
    This is after I realised transparency is not working

    Edit: I guess I'm feeling generous.
    Thank you! But I reassure you that I did my research and that I didn't find anything until someone in #archlinux said "upstream dropped it".
    Ironically I didn't have the idea of looking into the repo myself, since I hoped for something else to be the culprit.
    Could you kindly explain how (exactly) to apply that? I have never tinkered with patches.
    What I did was I cloned the repo, and manually created the util folder and its files (because it wouldn't compile without the files), patched the config in the main folder, compiled and installed it.
    No transparency to see.
    Plus I had to take out this part:
    ##diff -Naur termite.orig/.config.swp termite/.config.swp
    #--- termite.orig/.config.swp 2013-10-30 19:54:16.560230144 -0700

    #@@ -1,12 +0,0 @@
    #-b0VIM 7.4
    Because it gave me errors and I don't have that file.
    So... yeah.. I could use a bit of advice here. ;/
    Edit: Nevermind, found a work-around.

  • [SOLVED]Incorrect character codification in openbox dialogs

    I'm triyng standalone openbox, and have noticed dialogs do not show the correct character codification, showing, for example, weird characters instead of accent vowels. What should I check to solve this? Normal windows (firefox, pcmanfm... ) do show them correctly, but not their dialogs.
    Last edited by Daerun (2012-02-08 13:33:16)

    That was the first thing I looked up.
    locale.gen has only two uncomented entries: ca_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8  and ca_ES ISO-8859-1  wich correspond to my locale;  rc.conf is set to LOCALE="ca_ES.UTF-8", and keymap to KEYMAP="es" (just in case that's of any relevance).

  • [SOLVED] Transparent Minecraft screen

    Hello, I've been having issues with my graphics for Minecraft lately. Ever since the upgrade to Mesa 10 and above along with the Intel drivers that go along with it, I have had a major transparency bug with Minecraft. I've included some screenshots below on imgur.
    I'm running a system(Dell Inspiron N5110) with:
    Intel i5-2450m (2.5GHz at 2 cores)
    6 GB RAM
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 (integrated graphics)
    My system is currently up to date, and I also did a reinstall yesterday(I had the issue beforehand too, I just downgraded to mesa and all required libraries to 9.2.4 - the last version that didn't happen with this - I just want to get it fixed and run on latest versions now). Minecraft is completely up to date(1.7.5). Doesn't matter what launcher I use either.

  • [SOLVED]Shutting down in Arch (Openbox + Fluxbox)

    The other OPs thread got solved....but my issue didn't. So here it is again.
    I have openbox and fluxbox installed on Arch:
        1) Openbox stops responding on clicking either Reboot or Shutdown from the menu. Only option kill X.
        2) Fluxbox doesnt have a care in the world...it keeps working...menus and all
    Debian has Fluxbox installed...and shutdown and reboot work as they should.
    My sudoers file has this
    inxsible ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
    My menu file in openbox has
    sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now
    for the Reboot and
    sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
    for the Shutdown.
    I think this is specific to Arch because the same thing works well in my Debian install.
    I do have acpid installed...so all is not lost. Its just that it pisses me off that this doesn't work for me when it does for everyone else.
    Last edited by Inxsible (2009-02-06 22:59:39)

    Ok I feel like a f*ing idiot now !!!
    I checked my sudoers again and the problem was this. After I enabled my user name to have NOPASSWD to /sbin/shutdown, I had another line in sudoers down below which was
    %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
    That was negating the statement above. But I am still surprised how it worked 3 times before deciding not to.
    Anyway, I have now removed the username line and simply uncommented this one
    %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
    Now I dont need to worry about entering a password anywhere

  • Xterm/urxvt gaps in Openbox

    Hi,
    When using xterm/urxvt in Openbox (and maybe other WMs) they leave gaps in and outside of the window.
    For example:
    1, If I have a keybind to move the window to the right-edge of the screen, there is a gap between the xterm window and the edge of my screen. Other applications are fine.
    2, When running tmux and I maximise the window, there's a gap between the tmux bar and the bottom of the terminal.
    I've read in tiling windows there are layout hints that can be ignored which will then fill the space, but I cannot find any information about this for Openbox, if that's even what I need.
    Thanks

    The basic point is that terminal windows sizes usually do not measure in pixels but in multiples of character sizes. If the width/height do not fit there will be gaps.
    On the other hand I can easily move an xterm/urxvt window flush to the right border in my Openbox with this key binding:
    <keybind key="W-Right">
    <action name="MoveToEdgeEast"/>
    </keybind>

  • [SOLVED] quake-like terminal in openbox?

    just trying out openbox (the screenshot section convinced me ) and i like it so far.
    i try to keep it fast and simple, otherwise i'd install guake or something similar.

  • Transparent urxvt visual bug

    Urxvt has a bug that occurs when transparency is enabled and a tiling window manager (like xmonad) is used. There is a gap between the bottom of the text and the bottom of the window that is not drawn correctly when the window size is not a multiple of the font size. There is a fix posted on the rxvt-unicode mailing list that has not (to my knowledge) made it into the code yet. I can confirm that this fix works, and that it's not in the rxvt-unicode in testing. I'd like to see the patch added to the Arch package until such time as the patch is applied upstream because it's a really irritating bug.
    The patch is located here: http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt- … 00552.html
    Thanks in advance.
    Now I just need to fix midnight commander....

    Please submit a bug report. Several devs don't read the forum regularly.

  • [SOLVED] Keyboard volume control in Openbox

    Hi guys, I have been trying to get my keyboard keys control the volume in openbox. I have pnmixer installed, systray applet shows on tint2 and I also have xfce4-volumed installed from the AUR. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

    Now, how to get a notification on volume change+-/mute?
    You're welcome. Glad you worked it out. Don't forget to mark your post as solved. As to the other question I am unsure. I do not use this feature. If it is something that is handled by xfce4-volumed I would think maybe installing "xfce4-notifyd" or similar may work but I don't know (assuming you're talking about some kind of osd style thing where bubbles come up on the desktop and show you stuff). Other than that no clue on my end.

  • [SOLVED] Automatic login to TTY1, openbox error

    SOLUTION at the last post.
    Hello,
    I was trying to create the systemd autologin.service, to log into TTY1 right after boot.
    I have been following the instructions on the wiki:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Au … al_console
    PROBLEM: after boot, the login happens a few times with an error, flashing, and then dissapears leaving with a basic underscore " _ ". I can still use TTY2.
    If I go back to TT1, I see the following error multiple times, (maybe its a loop):
    Last login: today, etc TTY1
    Openbox-Message: Failed to open the display from the DISPLAY environment variable.
    Which is weird because I don't have openbox set to autostart or anything, I think.  (.xinitrc is basic as well; .dmrc has kde-plasma set.)

    For some reason I can't disable "autologin@tty1".
    Yes, this is a vanilla arch (customised by myself).
    This is what I have done:
    cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected] /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]
    -Edited the file: /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]
    the line: ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noclear %I 38400 linux
    to be like this: ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noclear -a ubunchu %I 38400
    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    sudo systemctl disable getty@tty1
    sudo systemctl enable autologin@tty1
    sudo systemctl start autologin@tty1
    sudo systemctl enable multi-user.target
    -now tried disabling:
    sudo systemctl disable getty@tty1 (again)
    sudo systemctl disable autologin@tty
    sudo systemctl disable autologin@tty1
    sudo systemctl disable [email protected]
    sudo systemctl disable [email protected]
    sudo systemctl disable [email protected]
    -no output, looks like it does not disable it

  • [Solved] Set Screen Resolution in Openbox

    Is there a utility to set the screen resolution in Openbox?
    Last edited by Wintervenom (2008-09-26 07:43:03)

    You can make an Openbox submenu with various xrandr settings.
    Like so:
    <menu id="res-menu" label="Resolution">
    <separator label="Resolution"/>
    <item label="1280x1024">
    <action name="Execute">
    <execute>
    xrandr -s 1280x1024
    </execute>
    </action>
    </item>
    <item label="1024x768">
    <action name="Execute">
    <execute>
    xrandr -s 1024x768
    </execute>
    </action>
    </item>
    <item label="800x600">
    <action name="Execute">
    <execute>
    xrandr -s 800x600
    </execute>
    </action>
    </item>
    Of course, you need to have those modes defined in xorg.conf.

  • [SOLVED] changing keyboard layouts in openbox

    HI again !
    I'm using openbox and i want to change between gb (united kingdom) and gr (Greece) languages so i 've tried to add the following code to xorg.conf without any result :
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard0"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbLayout" "gb,gr"
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:shifts_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch"
    EndSection
    The language sticks to us no matter what i do .
    Can someone help me ?
    Thanks !

    I've tried that with no results
    Did you disable input hotplugging?
    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
    EndSection
    The wiki says you need to disable it.
    Did that but my input devices won't work , such as the mouse
    Edit: Does it work if you change it manually:
    setxkbmap <xkb_layout>
    Yes it works fine manually . Although i wouldn't mind using this to change the language i would like the default one to be gb instead of us . How i do that?
