Setting up the virtual terminal appearance on a box with Arch and *urxvt*, I find myself unable to display which X resources are in use in a particular VT *instance*.
Take that workflow:
1. Open an urxvt console, load a particular color/font/font-attribute (e.g. by editing
As you might see,
~/.Xresources
then update this VT with xrdb merge
)
2. Open another VT, load a different setting, and repeat so to compare between them.
3. Phone rings, time to eat or look upon some kid...
4. Come back to the computer: Oow, what was the X resources settings in VT 1, 2 or N already?
I tried several tools that are able to show up X resources settings for a particular application but:

xrdb
will show X resources loaded by the VT at *a moment*, but not per VT instance. Same for xorg-appres
. Here's a wider screenshot with more instances and different settings loaded
Is there a way to show up X resources loaded in a particular VT *instance* that you know of?
PS: My question slightly differs from the otherwise very informative [How can I find the default (font) resource XTerm is using? ‒ 2013](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/96962/how-can-i-find-the-default-font-resource-xterm-is-using)
