1369in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1370specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of \f(CW0\fR is completely
1371transparent). You can also prefix any color with \f(CW\*(C`[a]\*(C'\fR, where \f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fR is on

1374You probably need to specify \fB\*(L"\-depth 32\*(R"\fR, too, and have the luck that
1375your X\-server uses \s-1ARGB\s0 pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1376\&\s-1ARGB\s0 visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
