Following my previous post on minimizing the resources that urxvt needs on Gentoo<\/a>, I tried applying some more patches to it that I found in Gentoo’s bugzilla.
\nSince that happened a few days ago there was no ebuild for version 9.05 yet. So I created one and applied the patch for the 256 color support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s my rxvt-unicode ebuild for version 9.05 with 256 color support: rxvt-unicode-9.05.ebuild<\/a>.
\n
\nSo since I now have a terminal supporting 256 colors it’s time to make vim<\/a> use it.
\nFollowing this guide for 256 colors in vim<\/a> I made some tests.
\nHere are the screenshots:

I am currently using desert256 with urxvt 9.05 with 256 color support of course \ud83d\ude42
\nSo with this unicode-rxvt ebuild I have a) unicode support b) tabs using fluxbox’s tab support c) 256 colors. I think that I currently don’t have any other wishes for a terminal.
\nMy second terminal of choice, mrxvt<\/a> still lacks unicode support \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
