1183 | |
|
|
1184 | In addition to the colours defined above, urxvt offers an additional 72 |
|
|
1185 | colours. The first 64 of those (with indices 16 to 79) consist of a |
|
|
1186 | 4*4*4 RGB colour cube (i.e. *index = r * 16 + g * 4 + b + 16*), followed |
|
|
1187 | by 8 additional shades of gray (with indices 80 to 87). |
|
|
1188 | |
|
|
1189 | Together, all those colours implement the 88 colour xterm colours. Only |

1202 | ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT |
|
|
1203 | If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't |
|
|
1204 | get their act together, rxvt-unicode will support |
|
|
1205 | "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" (recommended, but MUST have 4 |
|
|
1206 | digits/component) colour specifications, in addition to the ones |
|
|
1207 | provided by X, where the additional A component specifies opacity |
|
|
1208 | (alpha) values. The minimum value of 0 is completely transparent). You |
|
|
1209 | can also prefix any color with "[a]", where "a" is on to four hex digits |
|
|
1210 | specifiying the opacity value. |
|
|
1211 | |
|
|
1212 | You probably need to specify "-depth 32", too, and have the luck that |
|
|
1213 | your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting |
|
|
1214 | ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around. |
|
|
1215 | |
|
|
1216 | For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red |
|
|
1217 | background, and an almost opaque pink foreground: |
|
|
1218 | |
|
|
1219 | urxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/2222 -fg "[e]pink" |
|
|
1220 | |
|
|
1221 | *Please note that transparency of any kind if completely unsupported by |
|
|
1222 | the author. Don't bug him with installation questions!* |
