1450If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1451their act together, rxvt-unicode will support \f(CW\*(C`rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa\*(C'\fR

1453in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1454specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of \f(CW0\fR is completely
1455transparent). You can also prefix any color with \f(CW\*(C`[percent]\*(C'\fR, where
1456\&\f(CW\*(C`percent\*(C'\fR is a decimal percentage (0\-100) that specifies the opacity of
1457the color, where \f(CW0\fR is completely transparent and \f(CW100\fR is completelxy
1458opaque.

1460You probably need to specify \fB\*(L"\-depth 32\*(R"\fR, too, and have the luck that
1461your X\-server uses \s-1ARGB\s0 pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1462\&\s-1ARGB\s0 visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
