1774<h2><a name="alpha_channel_support">ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT</a></h2>
1775<p>If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1776their act together, rxvt-unicode will support <code>rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa</code>
1777(recommended, but <strong>MUST</strong> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
1778in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1779specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of <code>0</code> is completely
1780transparent). You can also prefix any color with <code>[percent]</code>, where
1781<code>percent</code> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of
1782the color, where <code>0</code> is completely transparent and <code>100</code> is completelxy
1783opaque.</p>
1784<p>You probably need to specify <strong>``-depth 32''</strong>, too, and have the luck that
1785your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1786ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.</p>
1787<p>For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1788background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:</p>
1789<pre>
1790 rxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/aaaa -fg &quot;[80]pink&quot;</pre>
1791<p><em>Please note that transparency of any kind if completely unsupported by
1792the author. Don't bug him with installation questions!</em></p>
