Hi all,

i'm interested to know how rxvt-unicode defines blinkable text, and
whether there's a difference between rxvt-unicode and XTerm in that
respect.  Before i get booed off -- using GNU Screen causes some
interesting aspects with blinking text.

GNU Screen has a concept known as a "hardstatus" which can be used to
display a list of windows.  In addition, there's an attribute which
can be used to blink text.  This sometimes works -- if the hardstatus
is told not to color its background (i.e., left at the default color
of the terminal).  If however, one simply changes the background color
of this hardstatus, no more blinking (excuse my language  :P) text.

However, in XTerm, this all works fine, and I see no oddities.

So my question is:  how does rxvt-unicode and XTerm compare in terms
of how they're told to implement blinking text, and is there anything
i can do to make them the same in order to fix my problem?

Just as an aside, the following works well in urxvt:

echo -e '\033[5mhello'

So i know urxvt can do some level of blinking.

Thanks!

David
