+If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
+their act together, rxvt-unicode will support C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa>
+(recommended, but B<MUST> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,

+specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely
+transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[a]>, where C<a> is on
+to four hex digits specifiying the opacity value.
+
+You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, and have the luck that
+your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
+ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
