		1508	White.
		1509
		1510	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1511
		1512	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1513	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1514
		1515	You can prefix any color with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in
		1516	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1517	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where C<0> is completely
		1518	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1519	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1520	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1521	all ways to specify a colour.
		1522
		1523	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1524	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1525	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1526	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1527	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1528	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1529	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1530
		1531	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1532	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1533	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1534	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1535
		1536	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1537	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1538
		1539	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1540
		1541	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1542	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1543	transparency of course).
		1544
		1545	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1546	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1547	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1548	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1549	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1550	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1551
		1552	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1553	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1554	extension.
