I have found something quite useful when working with lot of terminals
that is having different background colors depending on the task they
are designed to be. But currently i just change the background
color of
vim and use this to differentiate them. another stuff would be like
changing the background color of the terminal depending on the focus.
I also like when my display looks like farmland when viewed from
above. :)
I see no terminal able to do this in a simple way.
rxvt-unicode does this in a simple way. Look for resources 'fading'
and 'fadeColor'.
Unfortunately, XGrabKey(board) generates FocusOut and FocusIn events.
If your mouse pointer is over window A, and you switch between
windows B and C, window A will briefly change its background color
like a visual bell (argh). The only workaround I can think of is to
park the pointer over the statusbar when not in use. :(
