		485	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it

		487	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		488
		489	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		490
		491	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		492	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		493	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		494	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		495	not.
		496
		497	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		498	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		499
		500	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		501	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		502	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		507
		508	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		509	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		510	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		511	without having to run a program within it.
		512
		513	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		514	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		515	yourself if you want that.
		516
		517	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		518	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		519	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		520
		521	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		522	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):

		524	use IO::Pty;

		526

		1203	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1204
		1205	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a>
		1206	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<b>
		1207	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<c>
		1208
		1209	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1210	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1211	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1212	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1213
		1214	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1215
		1216	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1217	is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1218	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1219	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1220
		1221	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1222
		1223	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1224	will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1225	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1226	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1227	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1228	mappings themselves.
		1229
		1230	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1231	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1232	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1233	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1234
		1235	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1236	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1237
		1238	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1239	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1240	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1241
		1242	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1243	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1244	font-switching at runtime:
		1245
		1246	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1247	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1248
		1249	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1250	info):
		1251
		1252	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		1265	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1266	C<selection>.
		1267
		1268	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets

		1547	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1548
		1549	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1550	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1551
		1552	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1553	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1554	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1555	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1556	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1557	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1558	all ways to specify a colour.
		1559
		1560	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1561	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1562	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1563	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1564	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1565	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1566	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1567
		1568	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1569	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1570	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1571	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1572
		1573	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1574	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1575
		1576	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1577
		1578	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1579	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1580	transparency of course).
		1581
		1582	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
