		1656
		1657	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1658	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1659
		1660	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1661	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1662	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1663	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1664	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1665	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1666	all ways to specify a colour.
		1667
		1668	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1669	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1670	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1671	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1672	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1673	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1674	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1675
		1676	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1677	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1678	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1679	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1680
		1681	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1682	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1683
		1684	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1685
		1686	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1687	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1688	transparency of course).
		1689
		1690	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1691	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1692	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1693	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1694	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1695	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1696
		1697	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1698	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1699	extension.
