1174 If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't
1175 get their act together, rxvt-unicode will support
1176 "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" (recommended, but MUST have 4
1177 digits/component), "#ARGB", "#AARRGGBB" and "#AAAARRRRGGGGBBBB" colour
1178 specifications, in addition to the ones provided by X, where the
1179 additional A component specifies alpha (opacity) values (0 is completely
1180 transparent and the maximum is opaque). You probably need to specify
1181 "-depth 32", too, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
1182 layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box,
1183 and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
