|
|
1512 | |
|
|
1513 | If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get |
|
|
1514 | their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management: |
|
|
1515 | |
|
|
1516 | You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in |
|
|
1517 | brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage |
|
|
1518 | (0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely |
|
|
1519 | transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a |
|
|
1520 | half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This |
|
|
1521 | is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with |
|
|
1522 | all ways to specify a colour. |
|
|
1523 | |
|
|
1524 | For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports |
|
|
1525 | C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour |
|
|
1526 | specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity |
|
|
1527 | (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent, |
|
|
1528 | while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from |
|
|
1529 | earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and |
|
|
1530 | C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>. |
|
|
1531 | |
|
|
1532 | You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with |
|
|
1533 | alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel |
|
|
1534 | layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and |
|
|
1535 | rxvt-unicode just fudges around. |
|
|
1536 | |
|
|
1537 | For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black |
|
|
1538 | background, and an almost opaque pink foreground: |

1542 | When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the |
|
|
1543 | alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as |
|
|
1544 | transparency of course). |
|
|
1545 | |
|
|
1546 | When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background |
|
|
1547 | colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the |
|
|
1548 | background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while |
