+=item B<-pixmap> I<file[;oplist]>
+=item B<backgroundPixmap:> I<file[;oplist]>
+Compile I<pixbuf>: Use the specified image file as the window's
+background and also optionally specify a colon separated list of
+operations to modify it. Note that you may need to quote the C<;>
+character when using the command line option, as C<;> is usually a
+metacharacter in shells. Supported operations are:
+=over 4
+=item B<WxH+X+Y>
+sets scale and position. B<"W" / "H"> specify the horizontal/vertical
+scale (percent), and B<"X" / "Y"> locate the image centre (percent). A
+scale of 0 disables scaling.
+=item B<op=tile>
+enables tiling
+=item B<op=keep-aspect>
+maintain the image aspect ratio when scaling
+=item B<op=root-align>
+use the position of the terminal window relative to the root window as
+the image offset, simulating a root window background
+=back
+The default scale and position setting is C<100x100+50+50>.
+Alternatively, a predefined set of templates can be used to achieve
+the most common setups:
+=over 4
+=item B<style=tiled>
+the image is tiled with no scaling. Equivalent to 0x0+0+0:op=tile
+=item B<style=aspect-stretched>
+the image is scaled to fill the whole window maintaining the aspect
+ratio and centered. Equivalent to 100x100+50+50:op=keep-aspect
+=item B<style=stretched>
+the image is scaled to fill the whole window. Equivalent to 100x100
+=item B<style=centered>
+the image is centered with no scaling. Equivalent to 0x0+50+50
+=item B<style=root-tiled>
+the image is tiled with no scaling and using 'root' positioning.
+Equivalent to 0x0:op=tile:op=root-align
+=back
+If multiple templates are specified the last one wins. Note that a
+template overrides all the scale, position and operations settings.
+If used in conjunction with pseudo-transparency, the specified pixmap
+will be blended over the transparent background using alpha-blending.
+=item B<-tr>|B<+tr>
+=item B<transparent:> I<boolean>
+Turn on/off pseudo-transparency by using the root pixmap as background.
+B<-ip> (B<inheritPixmap>) is still accepted as an obsolete alias but
+will be removed in future versions.
+=item B<-tint> I<colour>
+=item B<tintColor:> I<colour>
+Tint the transparent background with the given colour. Note that a
+black tint yields a completely black image while a white tint yields
+the image unchanged.
+=item B<-sh> I<number>
+=item B<shading:> I<number>
+Darken (0 .. 99) or lighten (101 .. 200) the transparent background.
+A value of 100 means no shading.
+=item B<-blr> I<HxV>
+=item B<blurRadius:> I<HxV>
+Apply gaussian blur with the specified radius to the transparent
+background. If a single number is specified, the vertical and
+horizontal radii are considered to be the same. Setting one of the
+radii to 1 and the other to a large number creates interesting effects
+on some backgrounds. The maximum radius value is 128. An horizontal or
+vertical radius of 0 disables blurring.
+=item B<path:> I<path>
+Specify the colon-delimited search path for finding background image files.

 Pressing B<Shift-Insert> causes the value of the PRIMARY selection to be
 inserted too.
+rxvt-unicode also provides the bindings B<Ctrl-Meta-c> and

 on some systems or setgid to root or to some other group on others.
