		1495
		1496	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1497	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1498
		1499	You can prefix any color with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in
		1500	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1501	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where C<0> is completely
		1502	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1503	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1504	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1505	all ways to specify a colour.
		1506
		1507	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1508	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1509	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1510	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1511	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1512	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1513	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1514
		1515	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1516	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1517	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1518	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1519
		1520	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1521	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1522
		1523	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1524
		1525	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1526	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1527	transparency of course).
		1528
		1529	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1530	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1531	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1532	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1533	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1534	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1535
		1536	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1537	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1538	extension.
