1540 | When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background |
|
|
1541 | colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the |
|
|
1542 | background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while |
|
|
1543 | other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background |
|
|
1544 | image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or |
|
|
1545 | fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION. |
|
|
1546 | |
|
|
1547 | Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result |
|
|
1548 | in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER |
|
|
1549 | extension. |
