What is the native Windows look and feel other than the Window frame? 
Doesn't rxvt have the same window frame as any other window you have 
running under Windows already? (For comparison sake, let's assume both 
rxvt and MinTTy have a basic black & white color scheme).

What could be more Xish then X Resources, which rxvt pays total 
attention to?

There's transparency with rxvt too. Try -ip.

bother me. And the amount of times when I really want to waste all of my 
screen real estate on one window can be counted on one hand...
