The reverse-video seems to be broken with tmux. I tried with

I updated my tmux after sometime so I may be noticing this late. Is
this a bug or is there a workaround this ? I tried it the same
combination (rxvt .. ) with screen and it works well.

You're probably seen italics instead of reverse and your urxvt isn't
configured with an italics capable font. Screen makes a mess out of
italics and reverse, and tmux doesn't anymore (since 1.5). If you want
to know more, you can read about it in our previous discussion here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=ioag1a%24g2k%241%40dough.gmane.org&forum_name=tmux-users

Now you have two choices:

a) fix your terminfo entries and get reverse + italics (a bit worksome);
or
b) just get rid of italics altogether and always get reverse (quite
easy).

If you choose a), follow the instruction in the FAQ:
http://tmux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tmux/trunk/FAQ
It's the last question, titled "vim displays reverse video instead of
italics, while less displays italics (or just regular text) instead of
reverse. What's wrong?"

If you choose b), just add to your .tmux.conf:

set -g terminal-overrides 'rxvt-unicode*:sitm@,ritm@'

(and don't forget to restart the server)

Hope that helps.
Cheers.

Thank you. I stumbled onto FAQ later. I went with custom terminfo. However, I had some issue with terminfo -- thing is some applications check if it is a 256 terminal by pattern matching against TERM variable for 256color :D So I recreated terminfo with 256color in its name. That fixed it.
