Q#1: How do I integrate rxvt into my desktop?

do you mean to create an icon of mrxvt on your desktop? that's a problem of your desktop environment, not rxvt specific.

Q#2: How do I make the backround of rxvt transparent?

inheritPixmap if my memory is correct.

Q#3: Is there any other cool things I can do by playing around with tints and shadeing?

I do not think rxvt support tinting and shading. what you can do is to try mrxvt, aterm or eterm.

I'm assuming by "integrate", you mean either embed into the background, or remove all the borders and such. IIRC rxvt doesn't really do that by itself - You can do what you are talking about with eterm, I think.

Yeah I tryed eterm and aterm and I got these recursive errors all the time, I think I will try mrxvt.
