		1443
		1444	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1445	their act together, rxvt-unicode will support C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa>
		1446	(recommended, but B<MUST> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
		1447	in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
		1448	specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely
		1449	transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where
		1450	C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of
		1451	the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy
		1452	opaque.
		1453
		1454	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, and have the luck that
		1455	your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
		1456	ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1457

		1459	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
