manpagesection(RESOURCES (available also as long-options))
Note: `rxvt --help' gives a list of all resources (long options) compiled
into your version.
If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. bf(rxvt -h) lists
bf(.Xdefaults)) then bf(rxvt) accepts application defaults set in
XAPPLOADDIR/Rxvt (compile-time defined: usually
bf(/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt)) and resources set in bf(~/.Xdefaults),
or bf(~/.Xresources) if bf(~/.Xdefaults) does not exist. Note that when
reading X resources, bf(rxvt) recognizes two class names: bf(XTerm) and
bf(Rxvt). The class name bf(XTerm) allows resources common to both
bf(rxvt) and em(xterm) to be easily configured, while the class name
bf(Rxvt) allows resources unique to bf(rxvt), notably colours and
key-handling, to be shared between different bf(rxvt) configurations.
If no resources are specified, suitable defaults will be used.
Command-line arguments can be used to override resource settings. The
following resources are allowed:
startdit()
dit(bf(geometry:) em(geom))

80x24];
option bf(-geometry).

Use the specified colour as the window's foreground colour [default
Black];
option bf(-fg).
dit(bf(color)em(n)bf(:) em(colour))
Use the specified colour for the colour value em(n), where 0-7
corresponds to low-intensity (normal) colours and 8-15 corresponds to
high-intensity (bold = bright foreground, blink = bright
background) colours. The canonical names are as follows:
0=black, 1=red, 2=green, 3=yellow, 4=blue, 5=magenta, 6=cyan, 7=white,
but the actual colour names used are listed in the
bf(COLORS AND GRAPHICS) section.

Use the specified colour for the cursor. The default is to use the
foreground colour;
option bf(-cr).
dit(bf(cursorColor2:) em(colour))
Use the specified colour for the colour of the cursor text. For this
to take effect, bf(cursorColor) must also be specified. The default
is to use the background colour.

A scale of 1 displays the image without any scaling. A scale of 2 to
