110 --enable-xpm-background (default: on) 109 --enable-afterimage (default: on)
111 Add support for XPM background pixmaps. 110 Add support for libAfterImage to be used for transparency and
111 background images. It adds support for many file formats including
112 JPG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, GIF, XPM, BMP, ICO, XCF, TGA and AfterStep
113 image XML
114 (<http://www.afterstep.org/visualdoc.php?show=asimagexml>).
115
116 This option also adds such eye candy as blending an image over the
117 root background, as well as dynamic scaling and bluring of
118 background images.
119
120 Note that with this option enabled, urxvt's memory footprint might
121 increase by a few megabytes even if no extra features are used
122 (mostly due to third-party libraries used by libAI). Memory
123 footprint may somewhat be lowered if libAfterImage is configured
124 without support for SVG.
