Description ac.serbanescu 2011-08-31 17:17:48 UTC
Would somebody consider adding these 3 features to rxvt-unicode through a patch?
1. disable the underline if underlined text is set to be displayed as coloured;
2. making the cursor use reverse video instead of the default foreground/background;
3. making the cursor behave like under focus even when the terminal window is not focused.

Reproducible: Always

Where is the patch? :)

Do the resources colorUL, underlineColor help you at all?

Don't draw underline if colorUL is set

This one is better. It still disables the underline cursor if colorUL is set, but it had poor visibility anyway.

Why dont you just do the following:
Put patch to: /etc/portage/patches/x11-terms/rxvt-unicode/nameof.patch

This step is only needed if rxvt-unicode ebuild doesnt call epatch_user() by default.
Configure portage bashrc to call epatch_user() for all ebuilds:
/etc/portage/bashrc
post_src_unpack() {
        if type epatch_user &> /dev/null ; then
                if [[ -d ${S} ]]; then
                        pushd "${S}" 2>/dev/null
                        epatch_user
                        popd 2>/dev/null
                else
                        epatch_user
                fi
        fi
}

emerge rxvt-unicode

(Apparently we had some `use vanilla && epatch_user' logic in there. I might even have put it there myself. I have changed the ebuild so that epatch_user is /always/ called and no one needs to work around USE=vanilla.)
