		1539	colours. Only the first 16 can be changed using resources currently, the
		1540	rest can only be changed via command sequences ("escape codes").
		1541

1290		1549
		1550	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -fg Black -bg White -rv
		1551
		1552	would yield White on Black, while on I<xterm>(1) it would yield Black on
		1553	White.
		1554
		1555	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1556
		1557	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1558	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1559
		1560	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1561	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1562	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1563	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1564	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1565	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1566	all ways to specify a colour.
		1567
		1568	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1569	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1570	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1571	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1572	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1573	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1574	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1575
		1576	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1577	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1578	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1579	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1580
		1581	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1582	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1583
		1584	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1585
		1586	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1587	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1588	transparency of course).
		1589
		1590	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1591	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1592	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1593	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1594	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1595	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1596
		1597	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1598	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1599	extension.
