I know a lot people on the board use spectrwm. I am trying to understand if there is something that needs to be done to have proper colors display on rxvt, at least with ncmpcpp.
I will appreciate any hints you guys may have. Thank you.
on i3 as I would like to have them.
completely different on spectrwm

Re: spectrwm terminal colors issue
urxvt usually parses the X server resource database to get its colours.
but that databse has to be filled explicitely. you should have
a) the desired color definitions in ~/.Xresources
b) a line in your autostart that merges this with the already existing database:

.Xresources has colors defined. when you said database withdebiman wrote:urxvt usually parses the X server resource database to get its colours.

Re: spectrwm terminal colors issue
Hi! I'm still using ~/.Xdefaults on my home for rxvt-unicode config.
May be deprecated on some distros but still works on Debian stable that i always use.
Manually i use this command xrdb ~/.Xdefaults each time i make changes on the urxvt code.
Maybe create a new ".Xdefaults" on your home, put your urxvt code within and watch if there are changes.
Regards!

Re: spectrwm terminal colors issue
^Yes, .Xresources sounds better but i don't have issue using old method also a little command on terminal to apply new changes still makes the job done.

Re: spectrwm terminal colors issue (SOLVED)
Easy but hidden resolution, my default terminal in spectrwm was xterm which resulted in limited color options. Changing that to urxvt did the trick.
