 \&\fBrxvt-unicode\fR, version \fB@@RXVT_VERSION@@\fR, is a colour vt102 terminal
 emulator intended as an \fIxterm\fR(1) replacement for users who do not
 require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style
 configurability. As a result, \fBrxvt-unicode\fR uses much less swap space \*(--

 Unlike the original rxvt, \fBrxvt-unicode\fR stores all text in Unicode
 internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the
 world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult,
 especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts
 like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules,

 In addition to the default foreground and background colours,

 It is also possible to specify the colour values of \fBforeground\fR,
 \&\fBbackground\fR, \fBcursorColor\fR, \fBcursorColor2\fR, \fBcolorBD\fR, \fBcolorUL\fR as
 a number 0\-15, as a convenient shorthand to reference the colour name of
 color0\-color15.

+In addition to the colours defined above, @@RXVT_NAME@@ offers an
+additional 72 colours. The first 64 of those (with indices 16 to 79)
+consist of a 4*4*4 \s-1RGB\s0 colour cube (i.e. \fIindex = r * 16 + g * 4 + b +

 Note that \fB\-rv\fR (\fB\*(L"reverseVideo: True\*(R"\fR) simulates reverse video by
 always swapping the foreground/background colours. This is in contrast to
 \&\fIxterm\fR(1) where the colours are only swapped if they have not otherwise
 been specified. For example,

 would yield White on Black, while on \fIxterm\fR(1) it would yield Black
 on White.

+.IX Subsection "ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT"
+If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
+their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
+.PP
+You can prefix any color with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in
+brackets, i.e. \f(CW\*(C`[percent]\*(C'\fR, where \f(CW\*(C`percent\*(C'\fR is a decimal percentage
+(0\-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where \f(CW0\fR is completely
+transparent and \f(CW100\fR is completely opaque. For example, \f(CW\*(C`[50]red\*(C'\fR is a
+half-transparent red, while \f(CW\*(C`[95]#00ff00\*(C'\fR is an almost opaque green. This
+is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
+all ways to specify a colour.
+.PP
+For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
+\&\f(CW\*(C`rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa\*(C'\fR (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
+specifications, where the additional \f(CW\*(C`aaaa\*(C'\fR component specifies opacity
+(alpha) values. The minimum value of \f(CW0000\fR is completely transparent,
+while \f(CW\*(C`ffff\*(C'\fR is completely opaque). The two example colours from
+earlier could also be specified as \f(CW\*(C`rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000\*(C'\fR and
+\&\f(CW\*(C`rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332\*(C'\fR.
+.PP
+You probably need to specify \fB\*(L"\-depth 32\*(R"\fR, too, to force a visual with
+alpha channels, and have the luck that your X\-server uses \s-1ARGB\s0 pixel
+layout, as X is far from just supporting \s-1ARGB\s0 visuals out of the box, and
+rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
+.PP
+For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
+background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&   @@RXVT_NAME@@ \-depth 32 \-bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 \-fg "[80]pink"
+.Ve
+.PP
+When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
+alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
+transparency of course).
+.PP
+When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
+colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
+background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
+other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
+image will show through) on servers supporting the \s-1RENDER\s0 extension, or
+fully opaque on servers not supporting the \s-1RENDER\s0 \s-1EXTENSION\s0.
+.PP
+Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
+in garbage being displayed when the X\-server does not support the \s-1RENDER\s0
+extension.
