Does Xterm have an urxvt-style "fade" option?

I switched terminal emulators, urxvt has some problems that I don't wanna debug. xterm rocks, but it doesn't seem to have the fade option. Do any of the local gurus know more than me?

Out of curiosity: what fade option are you talking about?

URxvt.fading:        50
URxvt.fadeColor:   #333333

Add these to you .Xdefs

The cursor disappears if I enable compositing. It annoys the hell out of me.

Nvm

EDIT: I have another urxvt issue, whilst we're at it: when I enable compositing and make it transparent, my window border gets transparent too. Guru's know how to solve?

Well, apparently xterm has the same option, but it doesn't work on my machine. Growl.

@koraco: maybe you should just... use... terminator?

Disable that fancy compositing.

el_K:

Take a look at the True Transparency section; I think that's what i used for urxvt so it would work with xfce compositing.

I don't usually use compositing, so I can't be positive.

I'm not into transparency, but fading - dimming inactive windows - like this:

^ If you ever find out a way to dim just the background and not the fonts, in either rxvt or xterm, please let me know.
