simple to follow / modify
to work with tc & openbox

this is what changed

Maybe you find these useful too:

--- Code: ---URxvt*scrollstyle: plain
URxvt*thickness: 6
URxvt*scrollColor: #454545

--- End code ---

Misalf:
The same can be done with Fluxbox:

By adding the following to ~/.fluxbox/apps

--- Code: ---[app] (name=aterm-desktop) (class=XTerm)
  [IconHidden] {yes}
  [Sticky] {yes}
  [Layer] {12}
[end]
--- End code ---

Then start aterm like this

--- Code: ---aterm -name aterm-desktop -geometry 80x50+0+114 -bl +sr -tr -trsb -sh 80 &
--- End code ---

mocore:

thanks!
the slimmer scroll URxvt* scrollstyle thickness scrollColor   settings look better
with fluxbox
 uncommenting  'background: none'   disables fluxbox / lastwallpaper eg
~/.fluxbox/overlay

--- Code: ---! The following line will prevent styles from setting the background.
background: none
--- End code ---
