run urxvt without a menubar? (SOLVED)

[gychang]

is it possible to run urxvt terminal without the menubar? In fossapup64, appending "URxvt.borderLess: true" in .Xdefaults doesn't work -loses focus on the urxvt.

after URxvt.borderless... it loses focus and the cursor doesn't blink

JWM (or other window manager) generates that bar.

Maybe edit /root/.jwmrc and add a group, something like:

Code: Select all

<Group>
<Name>urxvt</Name>
<Option>notitle</Option>
</Group>

then restart/reload JWM (or restart X.)

noborder is another option you could add to the group.

That works well on the current Bionic64 I am using and it should also work on Fossapup64.

This seems to be a problem with other distros too. For example,

urxvt -bl does not work properly in Puppy with dwm or xmonad either.

A work around seems to be to configure the window manager to not display a title bar, and to configure urxvt not to be borderless.

works well, adding to jwmrc did not retain on the boot, but adding to /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc was the final fix. Tried noborder also and working well.
