1382 | |

1383 | If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get |
|
|
1384 | their act together, rxvt-unicode will support C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> |
|
|
1385 | (recommended, but B<MUST> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications, |
|
|
1386 | in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component |
|
|
1387 | specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely |
|
|
1388 | transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where |
|
|
1389 | C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of |
|
|
1390 | the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy |
|
|
1391 | opaque. |
|
|
1392 | |
|
|
1393 | You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, and have the luck that |
|
|
1394 | your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting |
|
|
1395 | ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around. |
