1759<p>If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1760their act together, rxvt-unicode will support <code>rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa</code>
1761(recommended, but <strong>MUST</strong> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
1762in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1763specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of <code>0</code> is completely
1764transparent). You can also prefix any color with <code>[a]</code>, where <code>a</code> is on
1765to four hex digits specifiying the opacity value.</p>
1766<p>You probably need to specify <strong>``-depth 32''</strong>, too, and have the luck that
1767your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1768ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.</p>
1769<p>For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1770background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:</p>
1771<pre>
1772 rxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/2222 -fg &quot;[e]pink&quot;</pre>
