115 This option also adds such eye candy as blending an image over the
116 root background, as well as dynamic scaling and bluring of

119 Note that with this option enabled, rxvt's memory footprint might
120 increase by a few megabytes even if no extra features are used
121 (mostly due to third-party libraries used by libAI). Memory
122 footprint may somewhat be lowered if libAfterImage is configured
123 without support for SVG.
