1443.IX Subsection "ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT"
1444If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1445their act together, rxvt-unicode will support \f(CW\*(C`rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa\*(C'\fR
1446(recommended, but \fB\s-1MUST\s0\fR have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
1447in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1448specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of \f(CW0\fR is completely
1449transparent). You can also prefix any color with \f(CW\*(C`[percent]\*(C'\fR, where
1450\&\f(CW\*(C`percent\*(C'\fR is a decimal percentage (0\-100) that specifies the opacity of
1451the color, where \f(CW0\fR is completely transparent and \f(CW100\fR is completelxy
1452opaque.
1453.PP
1454You probably need to specify \fB\*(L"\-depth 32\*(R"\fR, too, and have the luck that
1455your X\-server uses \s-1ARGB\s0 pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1456\&\s-1ARGB\s0 visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.

1458For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1459background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
