963
964 Extension names can be prefixed with a "-" sign to prohibit using
965 them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions
966 loaded by default, or specified via the "perl-ext-common" resource.
967 For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension
968 except "selection".
969
970 Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle
971 brackets (e.g. "searchable-scrollback<M-s>", which binds the hotkey
972 for searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same
973 extension multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple
974 arguments to the extension.
975
976 Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
977 necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
978
979 If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
980 interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is

1182 In addition to the colours defined above, rxvt offers an additional 72
1183 colours. The first 64 of those (with indices 16 to 79) consist of a
1184 4*4*4 RGB colour cube (i.e. *index = r * 16 + g * 4 + b + 16*), followed
1185 by 8 additional shades of gray (with indices 80 to 87).
1186
1187 Together, all those colours implement the 88 colour xterm colours. Only
1188 the first 16 can be changed using resources currently, the rest can only
1189 be changed via command sequences ("escape codes").

1200 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
1201 If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't
1202 get their act together, rxvt-unicode will support
1203 "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" (recommended, but MUST have 4
1204 digits/component) colour specifications, in addition to the ones
1205 provided by X, where the additional A component specifies opacity
1206 (alpha) values. The minimum value of 0 is completely transparent). You
1207 can also prefix any color with "[a]", where "a" is on to four hex digits
1208 specifiying the opacity value.
1209
1210 You probably need to specify "-depth 32", too, and have the luck that
1211 your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1212 ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
1213
1214 For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1215 background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
1216
1217 rxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/2222 -fg "[e]pink"
1218
1219 *Please note that transparency of any kind if completely unsupported by
1220 the author. Don't bug him with installation questions!*
