		1285	digits/component) colour specifications, in addition to the ones
		1286	provided by X, where the additional A component specifies opacity
		1287	(alpha) values. The minimum value of 0 is completely transparent). You
		1288	can also prefix any color with "[percent]", where "percent" is a decimal
		1289	percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where 0 is
		1290	completely transparent and 100 is completelxy opaque.
		1291
		1292	You probably need to specify "-depth 32", too, and have the luck that
		1293	your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
