1064	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to	1234	=item builtin-string:

		1253
		1254	Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to

		1568	The following text gives values for the standard 88 colour mode (and
		1569	values for the 256 colour mode in parentheses).
		1570
		1571	The RGB cube uses indices 16..79 (16..231) using the following formulas:
		1572
		1573	index_88 = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..3
		1574	index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..5
		1575
		1576	The grayscale ramp uses indices 80..87 (232..239), from 10% to 90% in 10%
		1577	steps (1/26 to 25/26 in 1/26 steps) - black and white are already part of
		1578	the RGB cube.
		1579
		1580	Together, all those colours implement the 88 (256) colour xterm
		1581	colours. Only the first 16 can be changed using resources currently, the
		1582	rest can only be changed via command sequences ("escape codes").
		1583
		1584	Applications are advised to use terminfo or command sequences to discover
		1585	number and RGB values of all colours (yes, you can query this...).

1323		1591
		1592	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -fg Black -bg White -rv
		1593
		1594	would yield White on Black, while on I<xterm>(1) it would yield Black on
		1595	White.
		1596
		1597	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1598
		1599	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1600	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1601
		1602	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1603	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1604	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1605	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1606	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1607	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1608	all ways to specify a colour.
		1609
		1610	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1611	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1612	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1613	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1614	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1615	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1616	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1617
		1618	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1619	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1620	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1621	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1622
		1623	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1624	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1625
		1626	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1627
		1628	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1629	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1630	transparency of course).
		1631
		1632	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1633	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1634	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1635	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1636	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1637	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1638
		1639	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1640	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1641	extension.
