		1516	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1517
		1518	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1519	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1520
		1521	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1522	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1523	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1524	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1525	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1526	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1527	all ways to specify a colour.
		1528
		1529	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1530	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1531	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1532	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1533	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1534	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1535	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1536
		1537	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1538	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1539	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1540	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1541
		1542	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1543	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1544
		1545	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1546
		1547	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1548	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1549	transparency of course).
		1550
		1551	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1552	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1553	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1554	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1555	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1556	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1557
		1558	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1559	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1560	extension.
