Urxvt - transparency - vim ? - SOLVED-

I'm runnung urxvt with real transparency by putting this in my .Xdefaults:
URxvt*depth: 32
URxvt*background: rgba:2121/2121/2121/aaaa
vim gives me error codes when I try to run it in a transparent terminal:
BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Vim: Got X error
Vim: Finished
If I run Vim -X I can get it to work, but then I lose the nice X stuff like buffer copying with the middle mouse button.
I've looked around, but can't find anyone having or addressing this problem? Any ideas from urxvt users out there?
Thanks

SOLVED
Gah...
I didn't have URxvt at the beginning of the two lines in my .Xdefaults. How embarrasing since i added them for the initial posting. Goes to show, dumb mistakes are only solved after posting to the forum.
Sigh...

Quick update: I was thinking about this - the wiki post can only be mentioning pseudo transparency ("non-standard wallpaper setters"), so it wouldn't apply to this situation (true transparency via compiz). After a little searching, I found this :
It seems the newest version has the copy-background-to-pixmap method overriding true transparency if that is set by the resources. That's the opposite of the way it used to be, but otherwise works. I just had to remove the other background settings, such as .inheritPixmap and .tintColor, and it works again.
So I commented out those resources in my ~/.Xdefaults ... and it works!
So, really solved.

[SOLVED] URXVT Transparency Dragging Refresh Rate Lag Problems

Hi! Hope y'all are well.
I've been scattering through the threads here searching for posts on window/frame lag, and noticed a few posts regarding the issue... but most were realated to window tearing, which is not exactly my issue...
So basically when I drag my urxvt CLI, which is transparent, the window itself moves without delay, however my desktop wallpaper, which can be seen through the CLI of course, experiences a refresh delay, hope that makes any sense.
Any questions, please ask.
Thanks!

Urxvt, xterm, vim, and gnu screen.

To make this simple: all i want is 256 color support in one terminal, that will give 256 color support in vim, gnu screen, and not screw up shells i ssh into. If I could get this working in xterm alone consider this solved.
The more I try to fix my problem it seems the more complicated it gets. What I want, I thought was simple:
Now xterm seems to be the most workable solution, I guess I can give up on having clickable links, so that can go on the back burner. But these are the problems i'm having.
Here's the problem point by point:
Urxvt
$ echo $TERM
xterm-256color
Urxvt will run a perl script I have to display 256 colors. Except is does not show the grayscale ramp shown here:
VIM in urxvt does NOT show any colors. It's all white text.
This is my .vimrc
$ cat .vimrc
syntax on
set ignorecase
set smartcase
set incsearch
set hlsearch
let g:netrw_http_cmd = "wget -q -O"
if &t_Co == 256
colorscheme xoria256
else
colorscheme desert
endif
in urxvt Gnu Screen
echo $TERM
screen-256color-bce
the perl script does not display 256 colors like it should.
vim in urxvt in screen again, does not show any colors. all white text.
Xterm
echo $TERM
xterm
Xterm displays the full 256 colors from the script including the grayscale ramp.
vim in xterm displays the desert theme (i would prefer it default to the xoria256, no idea why the 256 color script works but vim doesn't see xterm as a 256 capable terminal).
in xterm, Gnu Screen
echo $TERM
screen-256color-bce ( I do not see in any file where this option is defined)
Xterm with Gnu Screen displays the full 256 colors from the script including the grayscale ramp.
Vim in Gnu Screen in Xterm displays 256 colors properly.
Here is my .screenrc
#terminfo and termcap for nice 256 color terminal
# allow bold colors - necessary for some reason
attrcolor b ".I"
# tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
# erase background with current bg color

To Fix In Xterm
-Get Vim to display 256 colors without Gnu Screen
To Fix In Urxvt
-Get vim to display any color, but preferably 256 colors in urxvt and urxvt with Gnu Screen. (and yes, it's a 256 capable urxvt)
-Get shells i SSH into to recognize the reported term variable
To Fix In Gnu Screen
-Make it stop reporting the term variable as screen-256color-bce without losing 256 color support as this screws up shells i ssh to.
any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel like a dog chasing its tail b/c when I find a fix to one problem, I end up creating 1-2 more.

I had similar but different issues regarding this. Now, i have 256 color support in whatever terminal/ssh/screen session I'm in.
The relevant config lines:
.Xdefaults:
XTerm*termName: xterm-256color
URxvt*termName: rxvt-256color
.vimrc
" 256 colors only if you can handle it
if $TERM =~ "-256color"
set t_Co=256
colorscheme zenburn
endif
.screenrc
# term
term xterm-256color
# main options
altscreen on
attrcolor b ".I"
defbce "on"
# some termcaps
termcapinfo xterm-256color 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
termcapinfo rxvt-256color 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
note: this setup caused an issue where background colors in mutt/htop inside screen did not extend passed the line's text. i had to solve that via this workaround.

Urxvt transparency with NVIDIA

This problem is a little weird, and I think it has to do with an NVIDIA setting in Xorg.
I changes my .Xdefaults to make urxvt transparent:
urxvt*urlLauncher: firefox
urxvt*depth: 32
urxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd
urxvt*foreground: #1cc600
!urxvt*foreground: #ffffff
!urxvt*background: #000000
URxvt*scrollBar:true
URxvt*scrollBar_right:true
URxvt*font: xft:Terminus:size=8
Now, every time I open a terminal and drag it around, it leaves a trail. Even when I set the background to just black again. The problem is the depth setting. If I take my old .Xdefaults and just add the depth: 32 line, it leaves this trail.
However, it doesn't leave a trail if I first RESIZE the window, then drag it around. In fact, it handles the transparency just fine when I do this.
Here is my Xorg, see if you can help:

It's great to know that at least the community is still hacking away at xcompmgr, even if the devs aren't.
This package certainly solves the problem for me, but I've noticed now that any window with true transparancy* (in my case, urxvt and emesene) doesn't have a drop shadow at all. So, great, the "smearing" has gone, but so has the drop shadow that was causing it.
*Edit: I should say, any window using RBGa, rather than "transparancy".

Trying to get dwm, urxvt, transparency to work nicely together

New Arch user here, great distribution.
I've been trying to set up dwm with the Monaco font (great monospace/ttf font) and transparency. As you know, dwm launches uxterm by default as a new terminal. I wanted something with transparency, so I tried urxvt and tried to get it to use "fake" transparency (I could try real transparency, but when I launch xcompmgr I get a plethora of streaming error messages, so I guess I'll have the fake stuff). My ~.Xresources file looks like so:
! URxvt*font: Monaco
URxvt*background: black
URxvt*foreground: white
URxvt*termName: rxvt
URxvt*multichar_encoding: utf-8
URxvt*transparent: true
URxvt*tintColor: white
URxvt*shading: 50
URxvt*loginShell: true
URxvt*scrollBar: false
URxvt*scrollKey: true
URxvt*saveLines: 3000
I grabbed this somewhere from the net. I've commented out the font, because its another issue and I'll address it below. After saving this, and running xrdb -load ~/.Xresources, I try launching urxvt. The colors work fine (background and foreground), but I can't seem to get the transparency working at all. Instead its just a solid color.
As for the font, I installed Monaco from the arch repos. I tried using xlsfonts to get the "name" of the font, but that showed up nothing. Can urxvt use ttf fonts?
Thanks for your help, I'll post anything else anyone needs.

This will probably help (it will probably help with your font problems as well). See what it says about using shading and tintColor at the same time.
Also, just for future reference, please use Code tags for posting file content or terminal output.
Like this:

Thanks for the link. I must have skimmed over too quickly last time. I got the font working, awesome how the wiki uses the font I want as an example For the transparency however, no dice. I tried using either only shading or tint, but both of them failed. Just to be 100% certain, I don't need xcompmgr running or anything for this to work right?
Trilby wrote:I'm not sure where dwm comes into play here, but I will give you one of my own grievances: I much prefer "real" transparency because with psuedo-transparency, whenever the layout changes, there seems to be a good bit of lag between to windows changing shape and the pseudo-background being redrawn. It's ugly as hell - so I use true transparency. I'm still working, however, on a dwm patch to "hide other" windows in monocle mode, because as is, a true transparent terminal in monocle mode shows other windows below it ... also ugly as hell.
The only saving grace is that I never really use terminals in monocle mode - thats just for my web browser on occasion.
As for the problem at hand, I second Jack's point. Remove one of those and try again.
I figured I'd mention dwm seeing as they mention transparency issues out of box (ie, none). I thought maybe running dwm required me to have an extra daemon running or something... I do agree that true transparency would be much nicer, but I'm running into big issues with xcompmgr. Running from shell dumps an endless stream of "error 163: BadPicture request 149 minor 8 serial xxxxx" and running it straight from dmenu results in ugly transparency between different tags in dwm (I have a terminal open on tag 1 and firefox open on tag 2, I can see firefox through the terminal on tag 1). Admittedly, I haven't read into anything regarding xcompmgr so these could all be trivial issues.
jasonwryan wrote:Welcome to the boards Max. What took you so long?
Hey Jason. Well, a couple years back I saw your awesome screenshot of dwm and decided to switch from KDE to it. I guess recently I felt like going the whole way and running Arch. I loved getting everything up and running manually (nothing like installing an OS and being given only a simple terminal ). Thanks for the welcome.

(unimportant) (Openbox) URxvt transparency no more

I've been fiddling with my new Arch install over the past few days and so far I'm loving Openbox on it.
I had URxvt set up very nicely using the .Xdefault from the wiki, and have xcompmgr -n starting when Openbox opens, however after removing/reinstalling Xcompmgr after trying another compositor, URxvt isn't capable of transparency anymore.
.Xdefault:
URxvt.geometry: 128x32
URxvt.buffered: true
URxvt.background: black
URxvt.foreground: white
URxvt.cursorColor: green
URxvt.underlineColor: white

stalonetray &
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
And what I've added to the bottom of ~/.conf/openbox/autostart.sh:
# Launch Xcompmgr and tint2 with openbox
if which tint2 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
(sleep 2 && xcompmgr -n) &
(sleep 2 && tint2) &
fi
# Restore wallpaper
sh ~/.fehbg &
I added the -n to the xcompmgr line in autostart.sh after URxvt lost transparency, but it has had no effect.

Changed thread name to specify I'm on Openbox.

Ah that's what I thought. Will grab xcompmgr-git right now.
And I'll uninstall the regular since I assume that's what I should do.
Edit:
Wow, still nothing.
Installed xcompmgr-git after running pacman -Rnsu xcompmgr, ran openbox --reconfigure (if that does ANYTHING, I don't know) and changed ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh to run xcompmgr -CncfF also.
I just don't know what's going on.

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

Hi,
currently I'm using pseudo-transparency in rxvt-unicode-256color.

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.

System Yank Register in Vim+URxvt Without Mouse [SOLVED]

As I understand it, to use the system clipboard you have the choice of the selection or the cut buffer that are accessed through vim's * and + registers.
But as far as I can tell, this feature doesn't work with the vim from the repository. Older threads refer to it as working but I cannot get it to work, and I suspect vim was built without support for X.
There is of course the workaround to do a Shift-LMB drag which bypasses vim and has the intended effect, but this impractical when you don't have a mouse.
So how can I get the * and + registers working? If they were disabled, why? Or am I just being stupid?
Advice is greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I just did. I was worried that it would be too heavy or whatever but it seems fine, and copy and paste works. And back when I was in Ubuntu I stilled used GVim so I am okay with it.

Urxvt and vim bothering

I'm trying desperately to make urxvt show some nice colors AND use my vim color scheme (gentooish) !
But no matter what I do I cant have both !
I want to use urxvt because i like the tabmode, but somehow it breaks my vim theme !
I know this issue has been brougth here in this forum, and I've read all of them, but I cant find a solution that works properly with my setup.
Help is needed !!

Thanks for replying

Can't make urxvt transparent under Fluxbox

I've set urxvt's depth to 32 and the color to rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd. This results in a terminal with true transparency under Openbox. However, with Fluxbox, there is no transparency at all, and I can't figure out why.
Xcompmgr is definitely running, I have shadows and fades. I can even get transparency across the whole window with transset-df.
The correct resources for urxvt are set, I can confirm with `xrdb -query`.
No idea what's causing this Any help appreciated.

I've since become annoyed with Fluxbox and have switched to AwesomeWM, sorry
Lack's branch should still compile fine and work with at least urxvt, I never tried a dock or anything.
@Cr0k: That's not the correct way to set true transparency, you've enabled fake transparency. You need something like the following -- and also, you're running xcompmgr, right?
URxvt*depth: 32
URxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd
@knecht: Ask on their IRC. Lack has a 32-bit visuals branch that works great for at least a transparent terminal.

[urxvt] Icon missing [solved]

Hi there,
I think it came with the latest Perl update that my urxvt no longer displays the icon properly.
Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Q9HAhO3.png
It just displays a generic icon for terminal windows.
I have nothing changed in my ~/.Xresources:
URxvt*iconFile: /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/apps/128/terminal.svg
And I made sure that the icon still exists:
~ l /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/apps/128/terminal.svg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2014-06-07 11:56:31.000000000 +0200 /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/apps/128/terminal.svg -> utilities-terminal.svg
Can someone reproduce this issue?
Installed packages:
~ pacman -Q | grep rxvt
rxvt-unicode-patched 9.20-2
rxvt-unicode-terminfo 9.20-2
urxvt-perls 2.1-1
Last edited by orschiro (2014-06-10 19:50:30)

The issue with the missing icon is related to the bugs #FS36113, #FS35329 and #FS34862.
Luckily there is a patched package called rxvt-unicode-pixbuf.

[SOLVED] lxde+openbox+urxvt = can't get a transparent terminal

I've been trying to get urxvt fully transparent and maximized every spare time i have after work. But now i'm just wasting time, since it won't work no matter what. My first attempt was to read the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox (urxvt) that didn't work at all for me, then I resorted to a quick search on the forum, found various links: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64898 & http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64459 with peeps having the same issues like I did, or almost. But alas that didn't work either.
I can move around the terminal urxvt window/border, but it's not transparent, and it's NOT covering my entire screen like it's suppose to.
Any ideas?

Hello brisbin33, cheers for the prompt reply!
are you running xcompmgr?
yes, I use it for shades around my borders
do you have composite enabled in xorg.conf?
I don't use xorg.conf at all, I rely completly on input hotplugging through xorg-server and HAL, btw I was under the impression xorg-server (input hotplugging) completly ignores your xorg.conf if it's set to use HAL as autodection?

EDIT: I'm using lxde on my asus eeepc900, here's something I just read on the archlinux wiki, so once more having an xorg.conf is useless if you rely on input-hotplugging right? (wiki claims xorg ignores the xorg.conf if it's relying completly on HAL)
Intel drivers
The new Intel driver, xf86-video-intel, comes with compositing enabled by default. It's configured to use the newer EXA acceleration method, but the default build options can result in very slugish performance. In these cases, adding these options to the "Device" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf can improve the situation dramatically:
Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "ExaNoComposite" "false"

[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>
Last edited by 000krf (2009-01-08 22:39:19)

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] 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 …
Here are the configs:

[SOLVED] urxvt colors and moc theme

Hello!
I am a KDE user and usually i am using Konsole. For some applications (like htop and moc) i use urxvt (patched version from AUR). The problem is in colors. When i launch moc in Konsole the theme colours are right but not in urxvt too. That happens with htop also. URxvt doesn't follow theme backrground color (uses its own) and foreground colors too.
Here is my .Xresource file:

Moc config file:
# This is a configuration file for the MOC player. It should be named
# 'config' and placed in the ~/.moc directory. As this file can specify
# commands which invoke other applications, MOC will refuse to start if it
# is not owned by either root or the current user, or if it is writable by
# anyone other than its owner. All options are given with their default
# values, and therefore commented.
# Comments begin with '#'.
# You can use quotes and escape ('\') in parameters.
# You can have variable values substituted by enclosing the variable name
# as "${...}". (This only applies to the portion of the option following
# the ' ='.) Variables are substituted first from the environment then,
# if not found, from the configuration options. (Note that the value of
# a configuration option substituted is that which it has at the time the
# substitution variable is encountered.) If there is a naming conflict
# between an environment and configuration variable, you may be able to
# resolve it by using lowercase as the environment variable matches are
# case-sensitive whereas the configuration variables are not.
# You can also use the form "${...:-...}" where the value in the second
# position will be substituted if the variable name given in the first
# position is unset or null.

# Variable names are limited to those accepted by the BASH shell; that
# is, those comprising the upper- and lowercase ASCII characters, digits
# and the underscore.
# If you need to use the "${" sequence for any other purpose, write "$${"
# and it will be replaced by "${" and not treated as a substitution.
# Some options take lists of strings as their values. The strings are
# separated by colons. Additional strings can be appended to the list
# using "+ =" in place of a plain "=" to assign the value. For an example,
# see the XTerms option.
# You can override any configuration option when you run MOC using the
# '-O' command line option:
# mocp -O AutoNext =no -O messagelingertime=1 -O XTerms+=xxt:xwt
# This command line option can be repeated as many times as needed and
# the configuration option name is not case sensitive. (Note that MOC
# does not perform variable substitution on the value of such overridden
# configuration options.) Most option values are set before the
# configuration file is processed (which allows the new values to be
# picked up by substitutions), however list-valued options are overridden
# afterwards (which gives the choice of whether the configured values are
# replaced or added to).

# PreferredDecoders allows you to specify which decoder should be used
# for any given audio format. It is a colon-separated list in which
# each entry is of the general form 'code(decoders)', where 'code'
# identifies the audio format and 'decoders' is a comma-separated list
# of decoders in order of preference.
# The audio format identifier may be either a filename extension or a
# MIME media type. If the latter, the format is 'type/subtype' (e.g.,
# 'audio/flac'). Because different systems may give different MIME
# media types, any 'x-' prefix of the subtype is ignored both here and
# in the actual file MIME type (so all combinations of 'audio/flac' and
# 'audio/x-flac' match each other).
# For Internet streams the matching is done on MIME media type and on
# actual content. For files the matches are made on MIME media type
# (if the 'UseMimeMagic' option is set) and on filename extension. The
# MIME media type of a file is not determined until the first entry for
# MIME is encountered in the list.
# The matching is done in the order of appearance in the list with any
# entries added from the command line being matched before those listed
# here. Therefore, if you place all filename extension entries before
# all MIME entries you will speed up MOC's processing of directories
# (which could be significant for remote file systems).
# The decoder list may be empty, in which case no decoders will be used
# for files (and files with that audio format ignored) while Internet
# streams will be assessed on the actual content. Any decoder position
# may contain an asterisk, in which case any decoder not otherwise listed
# which can handle the audio format will be used. It is not an error to
# list the same decoder twice, but neither does it make sense to do so.
# If you have a mix of audio and non-audio files in your directories, you
# may wish to include entries at top of the list which ignore non-audio
# files by extension.
# In summary, the PreferredDecoders option provides fine control over the
# type of matching which is performed (filename extension, MIME media
# type and streamed media content) and which decoder(s) (if any) are used
# based on the option's list entries and their ordering.
# Examples: aac(aac,ffmpeg) first try FAAD2 for AACs then FFmpeg
# mp3() ignore MP3 files
# wav(*,sndfile) use sndfile for WAV as a last resort
# ogg(vorbis,*):flac(flac,*) try Xiph decoders first
# ogg():audio/ogg() ignore OGG files, and
# force Internet selection by content
# gz():html() ignore some non-audio files
# Any unspecified audio formats default to trying all decoders.
# Any unknown (or misspelt) drivers are ignored.
# All names are case insensitive.
# The default setting reflects the historical situation modified by
# the experience of users.
#PreferredDecoders = aac(aac,ffmpeg):m4a(ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += mpc(musepack,*,ffmpeg):mpc8(musepack,*,ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += sid(sidplay2):mus(sidplay2)
#PreferredDecoders += wav(sndfile,*,ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += wv(wavpack,*,ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += audio/aac(aac):audio/aacp(aac):audio/m4a(ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += audio/wav(sndfile,*)
# The following PreferredDecoders attempt to handle the ambiguity surrounding
# container types such as OGG for files. The first two entries will force
# a local file to the correct decoder (assuming the .ogg file contains Vorbis
# audio), while the MIME media types will cause Internet audio streams to
# be assessed on content (which may be either Vorbis or Speex).
#PreferredDecoders += ogg(vorbis,ffmpeg):oga(vorbis,ffmpeg):ogv(ffmpeg)
#PreferredDecoders += opus(opus,ffmpeg)

# Which resampling method to use. There are a few methods of resampling
# sound supported by libresamplerate. The default is 'Linear') which is
# also the fastest. A better description can be found at:
# http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsamplerate/api_misc.html#Converters
# but briefly, the following methods are based on bandlimited interpolation
# and are higher quality, but also slower:
# SincBestQuality - really slow (I know you probably have an xx GHz
# processor, but it's still not enough to not see
# this in the top output :) The worst case
# Signal-to-Noise Ratio is 97dB.
# SincMediumQuality - much faster.
# SincFastest - the fastest bandlimited interpolation.
# And these are lower quality, but much faster methods:
# ZeroOrderHold - really poor quality, but it's really fast.
# Linear - a bit better and a bit slower.
#ResampleMethod = Linear
# Always use this sample rate (in Hz) when opening the audio device (and
# resample the sound if necessary). When set to 0 the device is opened
# with the file's rate.
#ForceSampleRate = 0
# By default, even if the sound card reports that it can output 24bit samples
# MOC converts 24bit PCM to 16bit. Setting this option to 'yes' allows MOC
# to use 24bit output. (The MP3 decoder, for example, uses this format.)
# This is disabled by default because there were reports that it prevents
# MP3 files from playing on some soundcards.
#Allow24bitOutput = no
# Use realtime priority for output buffer thread. This will prevent gaps
# while playing even with heavy load. The user who runs MOC must have
# permissions to set such a priority. This could be dangerous, because it
# is possible that a bug in MOC will freeze your computer.
#UseRealtimePriority = no
# The number of audio files for which MOC will cache tags. When this limit
# is reached, file tags are discarded on a least recently used basis (with

# Main window layouts can be configured. You can change the position and
# size of the menus (directory and playlist). You have three layouts and
# can switch between then using the 'l' key (standard mapping). By default,
# only two layouts are configured.
# The format is as follows:
# - Each layout is described as a list of menu entries.
# - Each menu entry is of the form:
# menu(position_x, position_y, width, height)
# where 'menu' is either 'directory' or 'playlist'.
# - The parameters define position and size of the menu. They can
# be absolute numbers (like 10) or a percentage of the screen size
# (like 45%).
# - 'width' and 'height' can have also value of 'FILL' which means
# fill the screen from the menu's position to the border.
# - Menus may overlap.
# You must describe at least one menu (default is to fill the whole window).
# There must be at least one layout (Layout1) defined; others can be empty.
# Example: Layout1 = playlist(50%,50%,50%,50%)
# Layout2 = ""
# Layout3 = ""
# Just one layout, the directory will occupy the whole
# screen, the playlist will have 1/4 of the screen size
# and be positioned at lower right corner. (Note that
# because the playlist will be hidden by the directory
# you will have to use the TAB key to make the playlist
# visible.)
# Example: Layout1 = playlist(0,0,100%,10):directory(0,10,100%,FILL)
# The screen is split into two parts: playlist at the top
# and the directory menu at the bottom. Playlist will
# occupy 10 lines and the directory menu the rest.
#Layout1 = directory(0,0,50%,100%):playlist(50%,0,FILL,100%)
#Layout2 = directory(0,0,100%,100%):playlist(0,0,100%,100%)

# played file is visible?
#FollowPlayedFile = yes

3d3d3d is for red but you have a blackish and color2 is for green but you have it white the rest should be the default colors. it uses the same colors only it changes the vairiant of the color you choice there or normally moc uses colors such as green blue and such which will call your console colors for those respective fields I know moc has /user/share/moc/themes/ that you can edit or make your own for instance copy one and edit it. I think htop uses the same color count which is 8 but with so green will be white when you use urxvt. 8 for normal colors 16 for bright dark and urxvt is 256 which is 16 but can use any of the 256 colors for 16.
just to clarify you have commented out your colors 4-15 and your green and red is weird, and htop aswell as moc is 8 bit. moc theme_yellow_red is default for background so it will use urxvts background
Haahaha, that is simple. And it works!!!
I didn't bother with commenting that because i thought they are not applied. Anyway, thanks man. My urxvt terminal si grateful to you and your thorough explanation. SOLVED!
