1784<p>If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1785their act together, rxvt-unicode will support <code>rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa</code>
1786(recommended, but <strong>MUST</strong> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
1787in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1788specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of <code>0</code> is completely
1789transparent). You can also prefix any color with <code>[percent]</code>, where
1790<code>percent</code> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of
1791the color, where <code>0</code> is completely transparent and <code>100</code> is completelxy
1792opaque.</p>
1793<p>You probably need to specify <strong>``-depth 32''</strong>, too, and have the luck that
1794your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1795ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.</p>
1796<p>For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1797background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:</p>
