		1513	White.
		1514
		1515	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1516
		1517	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1518	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1519
		1520	You can prefix any colour with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in
		1521	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1522	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1523	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1524	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1525	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1526	all ways to specify a colour.
		1527
		1528	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1529	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1530	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1531	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1532	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1533	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1534	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1535
		1536	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1537	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1538	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1539	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1540
		1541	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1542	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1543
		1544	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1545
		1546	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1547	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1548	transparency of course).
		1549
		1550	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1551	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1552	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1553	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1554	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1555	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1556
		1557	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1558	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1559	extension.
