		1187	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1188	is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1189	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via

		1200
		1201	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1202	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s

		1518	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1519
		1520	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1521	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1522
		1523	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1524	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1525	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1526	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1527	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1528	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1529	all ways to specify a colour.
		1530
		1531	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1532	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1533	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1534	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1535	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1536	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1537	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1538
		1539	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1540	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1541	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1542	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1543
		1544	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1545	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1546
		1547	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1548
		1549	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1550	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1551	transparency of course).
		1552
		1553	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1554	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1555	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1556	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1557	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1558	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1559
		1560	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1561	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1562	extension.
