## Colors
Rofi has an experimental mode for a 'nicer' transparency. The idea is that you can make the
background of the window transparent but the text not. This way, in contract to the `-opacity`
option, the text is still fully visible and readable.
To use this there are 2 requirements: 1. Your Xserver supports TrueColor, 2. You are running a
composite manager. If this is satisfied you can use the following format for colors:
argb:FF444444
The first two fields specify the alpha level. This determines how much the background shines through
the color (00 everything, FF nothing). E.g. 'argb:00FF0000' gives you a bright red color with the
background shining through. If you want a dark greenish transparent color use: 'argb:dd2c3311'. This
can be done for any color; it is therefor possible to have solid borders, the selected row solid,
and the others slightly transparent.
## Keybindings
