966 | perl-ext: *string* |
|
|
967 | Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: |
|
|
968 | "default") to use in this terminal instance; option -pe. |
|
|
969 | |
|
|
970 | Extension names can be prefixed with a "-" sign to prohibit using |
|
|
971 | them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions |
|
|
972 | loaded by default, or specified via the "perl-ext-common" resource. |
|
|
973 | For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension |
|
|
974 | except "selection". |
|
|
975 | |
|
|
976 | Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle |
|
|
977 | brackets (e.g. "searchable-scrollback<M-s>", which binds the hotkey |
|
|
978 | for searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same |
|
|
979 | extension multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple |
|
|
980 | arguments to the extension. |
|
|
981 | |
|
|
982 | Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if |
|
|
983 | necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance. |
|
|
984 | |
|
|
985 | If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl |
|
|
986 | interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is |
|
|
987 | that perl-ext-common will be used for extensions that should be |
|
|

|
|
989 | instances. |

|
1188 | In addition to the colours defined above, rxvt offers an additional 72 |

1206 | ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT |
|
|
1207 | If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't |
|
|
1208 | get their act together, rxvt-unicode will support |
|
|
1209 | "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" (recommended, but MUST have 4 |
|
|
1210 | digits/component) colour specifications, in addition to the ones |
|
|
1211 | provided by X, where the additional A component specifies opacity |
|
|
1212 | (alpha) values. The minimum value of 0 is completely transparent). You |
|
|
1213 | can also prefix any color with "[percent]", where "percent" is a decimal |
|
|
1214 | percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where 0 is |
|
|
1215 | completely transparent and 100 is completelxy opaque. |
|
|
1216 | |
|
|
1217 | You probably need to specify "-depth 32", too, and have the luck that |
|
|
1218 | your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting |
|
|
1219 | ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around. |
|
|
1220 | |
|
|
1221 | For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red |
|
|
1222 | background, and an almost opaque pink foreground: |
|
|
1223 | |
|
|
1224 | rxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/aaaa -fg "[80]pink" |
|
|
1225 | |
|
|
1226 | *Please note that transparency of any kind if completely unsupported by |
|
|
1227 | the author. Don't bug him with installation questions!* |
