Urxvt add padding (distance between text and border)

urxvt

Is it possible to increase the space between text and border in urxvt, and if so, how? I can't find any resources on it online.

Best Answer

You are looking for the internalBorder value:

URxvt.internalBorder:  4

From man urxvt:

internalBorder: number
Internal border of number pixels. This resource is limited to 100; option -b.

The problem was that I got shortcut for opening urxvt which called the terminal with addition arguments (“-lsp 2 -bc“). Removing arguments solved the problem.

Shell – Battery Bar in URxvt

It is a zsh shell prompt, and Oblique's configs are shared on github.

The basics of the prompt are:

# prompt theme
setopt prompt_subst
PROMPT='%{$fg[blue]%}[%D{%d/%m/%y} %T]%{$reset_color%} %(!.%{$fg_bold[red]%}.%{$fg_bold[green]%}%n@)%m%{$reset_color%} %{$fg[magenta]%}[%(!.%1~.%~)]%{$reset_color%} $(_git_prompt_info)
%{$fg[red]%}>>%{$reset_color%} '
# use battery status only if we are in linux console
if [[ $TERM = linux* ]]; then
    RPROMPT='$(_battery_status)'
fi

The battery status is a separate script and the graphics are created with unicode characters.
