		1592	The following text gives values for the standard 88 colour mode (and
		1593	values for the 256 colour mode in parentheses).
		1594
		1595	The RGB cube uses indices 16..79 (16..231) using the following formulas:
		1596
		1597	index_88 = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..3
		1598	index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..5
		1599
		1600	The grayscale ramp uses indices 80..87 (232..239), from 10% to 90% in 10%
		1601	steps (1/26 to 25/26 in 1/26 steps) - black and white are already part of
		1602	the RGB cube.
		1603
		1604	Together, all those colours implement the 88 (256) colour xterm
		1605	colours. Only the first 16 can be changed using resources currently, the
		1606	rest can only be changed via command sequences ("escape codes").
		1607
		1608	Applications are advised to use terminfo or command sequences to discover
		1609	number and RGB values of all colours (yes, you can query this...).

		1617
		1618	would yield White on Black, while on I<xterm>(1) it would yield Black on
		1619	White.
		1620
		1621	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1622
		1623	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1624	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1625
		1626	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1627	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1628	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1629	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1630	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1631	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1632	all ways to specify a colour.
		1633
		1634	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1635	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1636	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1637	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1638	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1639	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1640	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1641
		1642	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1643	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1644	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1645	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1646
		1647	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1648	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1649
		1650	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1651
		1652	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1653	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1654	transparency of course).
		1655
		1656	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1657	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1658	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1659	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1660	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1661	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1662
		1663	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1664	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1665	extension.
