1779to four hex digits specifiying the opacity value.</p>
1780<p>You probably need to specify <strong>``-depth 32''</strong>, too, and have the luck that
1781your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1782ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.</p>
1783<p>For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1784background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:</p>
1785<pre>
1786 rxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/2222 -fg &quot;[e]pink&quot;</pre>
1787<p><em>Please note that transparency of any kind if completely unsupported by
1788the author. Don't bug him with installation questions!</em></p>
