		1534	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1535
		1536	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1537	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1538
		1539	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1540	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1541	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1542	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1543	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1544	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1545	all ways to specify a colour.
		1546
		1547	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1548	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1549	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1550	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1551	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1552	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1553	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1554
		1555	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1556	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1557	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1558	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1559
		1560	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1561	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1562
		1563	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1564
		1565	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1566	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1567	transparency of course).
		1568
		1569	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1570	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1571	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1572	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1573	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1574	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1575
		1576	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1577	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1578	extension.
