1174 | If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't |
|
|
1175 | get their act together, rxvt-unicode will support |
|
|
1176 | "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" (recommended, but MUST have 4 |
|
|
1177 | digits/component), "#ARGB", "#AARRGGBB" and "#AAAARRRRGGGGBBBB" colour |

|
1178 | specifications, in addition to the ones provided by X, where the |
|
|
1179 | additional A component specifies alpha (opacity) values (0 is completely |
|
|
1180 | transparent and the maximum is opaque). You probably need to specify |
|
|
1181 | "-depth 32", too, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel |
|
|
1182 | layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, |
|
|
1183 | and rxvt-unicode just fudges around. |
