		1509	White.
		1510
		1511	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1512
		1513	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1514	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1515
		1516	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1517	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1518	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1519	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1520	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1521	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1522	all ways to specify a colour.
		1523
		1524	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1525	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1526	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1527	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1528	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1529	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1530	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1531
		1532	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1533	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1534	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1535	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1536
		1537	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1538	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1539
		1540	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1541
		1542	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1543	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1544	transparency of course).
		1545
		1546	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1547	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1548	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1549	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1550	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1551	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1552
		1553	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1554	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1555	extension.
