		1526	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1527
		1528	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1529	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1530
		1531	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1532	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1533	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1534	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1535	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1536	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1537	all ways to specify a colour.
		1538
		1539	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1540	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1541	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1542	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1543	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1544	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1545	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1546
		1547	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1548	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1549	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1550	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1551
		1552	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1553	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1554
		1555	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1556
		1557	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1558	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1559	transparency of course).
		1560
		1561	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1562	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1563	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1564	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1565	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1566	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1567
		1568	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1569	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1570	extension.
