 SYNOPSIS
     rxvt [options] [-e command [ args ]]
 DESCRIPTION
-    rxvt-unicode, version 7.3a, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator intended
+    rxvt-unicode, version 7.6, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator intended
     as an *xterm*(1) replacement for users who do not require features such
     as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability. As a
     result, rxvt-unicode uses much less swap space -- a significant
     advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.
         Attempt to open a window on the named X display (-d still
         respected). In the absence of this option, the display specified by
         the DISPLAY environment variable is used.
     -depth *bitdepth*
-        Compile *frills*: Attempt to find a visual with the given bit depth;
+        Compile *xft*: Attempt to find a visual with the given bit depth;
         resource depth.
     -geometry *geom*
         Window geometry (-g still respected); resource geometry.
         Turn on/off jump scrolling; resource jumpScroll.
     -ip|+ip | -tr|+tr
         Turn on/off inheriting parent window's pixmap. Alternative form is
         -tr; resource inheritPixmap.
+        *Please note that transparency of any kind if completely unsupported
+        by the author. Don't bug him with installation questions!*
     -fade *number*
         Fade the text by the given percentage when focus is lost. Small
         values fade a little only, 100 completely replaces all colours by
         the fade colour; resource fading.
     -fadecolor *colour*
         Fade to this colour when fading is used (see -fade). The default
-        colour is black. resource fadeColor.
+        colour is opaque black. resource fadeColor.
     -tint *colour*
         Tint the transparent background pixmap with the given colour when
         transparency is enabled with -tr or -ip. This only works for
         non-tiled backgrounds, currently. See also the -sh option that can
     settings. The following resources are supported (you might want to check
     the rxvtperl(3) manpage for additional settings by perl extensions not
     documented here):
     depth: *bitdepth*
-        Compile *frills*: Attempt to find a visual with the given bit depth;
+        Compile *xft*: Attempt to find a visual with the given bit depth;
         option -depth.
     geometry: *geom*
         Create the window with the specified X window geometry [default
         80x24]; option -geometry.
     inheritPixmap: *boolean*
         True: make the background inherit the parent windows' pixmap, giving
         artificial transparency. False: do not inherit the parent windows'
         pixmap.
+        *Please note that transparency of any kind if completely unsupported
+        by the author. Don't bug him with installation questions!*
     fading: *number*
         Fade the text by the given percentage when focus is lost; option
         -fade.

 COLORS AND GRAPHICS
     In addition to the default foreground and background colours, rxvt can
     display up to 16 colours (8 ANSI colours plus high-intensity bold/blink
-    versions of the same). Here is a list of the colours with their rgb.txt
+    versions of the same). Here is a list of the colours with their names.
-    names.
        color0          (black)         = Black
        color1          (red)           = Red3
        color2          (green)         = Green3
        color3          (yellow)        = Yellow3
     It is also possible to specify the colour values of foreground,
     background, cursorColor, cursorColor2, colorBD, colorUL as a number
     0-15, as a convenient shorthand to reference the colour name of
     color0-color15.
+    In addition to the colours defined above, rxvt offers an additional 72
+    colours. The first 64 of those (with indices 16 to 79) consist of a
+    4*4*4 RGB colour cube (i.e. *index = r * 16 + g * 4 + b + 16*), followed
+    by 8 additional shades of gray (with indices 80 to 87).
+    Together, all those colours implement the 88 colour xterm colours. Only
+    the first 16 can be changed using resources currently, the rest can only
+    be changed via command sequences ("escape codes").
     Note that -rv ("reverseVideo: True") simulates reverse video by always
     swapping the foreground/background colours. This is in contrast to
     *xterm*(1) where the colours are only swapped if they have not otherwise
     been specified. For example,
     rxvt -fg Black -bg White -rv
         would yield White on Black, while on *xterm*(1) it would yield Black
         on White.
+  ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
+    If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't
+    get their act together, rxvt-unicode will support
+    "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" (recommended, but MUST have 4
+    digits/component) colour specifications, in addition to the ones
+    provided by X, where the additional A component specifies opacity
+    (alpha) values. The minimum value of 0 is completely transparent). You
+    can also prefix any color with "[a]", where "a" is on to four hex digits
+    specifiying the opacity value.
+    You probably need to specify "-depth 32", too, and have the luck that
+    your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
+    ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
+    For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
+    background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
+       rxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/2222 -fg "[e]pink"
+    *Please note that transparency of any kind if completely unsupported by
+    the author. Don't bug him with installation questions!*
