		1662
		1663	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1664	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1665
		1666	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1667	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1668	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1669	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1670	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1671	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1672	all ways to specify a colour.
		1673
		1674	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1675	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1676	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1677	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1678	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1679	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1680	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1681
		1682	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1683	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1684	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1685	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1686
		1687	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1688	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1689
		1690	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1691
		1692	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1693	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1694	transparency of course).
		1695
		1696	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1697	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1698	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1699	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1700	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1701	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1702
		1703	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1704	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1705	extension.
