1439In addition to the colours defined above, @@RXVT_NAME@@ offers an
1440additional 72 colours. The first 64 of those (with indices 16 to 79)
1441consist of a 4*4*4 RGB colour cube (i.e. I<index = r * 16 + g * 4 + b +
144216>), followed by 8 additional shades of gray (with indices 80 to 87).
1443
1444Together, all those colours implement the 88 colour xterm colours. Only
1445the first 16 can be changed using resources currently, the rest can only
1446be changed via command sequences ("escape codes").

1462=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
1463
1464If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1465their act together, rxvt-unicode will support C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa>
1466(recommended, but B<MUST> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
1467in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1468specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely
1469transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where
1470C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of
1471the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy
1472opaque.
1473
1474You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, and have the luck that
1475your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1476ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
1477
1478For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1479background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
