Hello,

is there any way to make a TForm transparent? Or will it be integrated
in Lazarus?
I'm using Lazarus running on a Mac.

Thx in advance..

If you try to use the search function you will be able to find the
answer, try looking for the posts I made, there should be a code or a
link to a website.

BPsoftware, Win32 API works on Mac ?
What about same technique in Linux (like regions in Windows)?
Is it possible? Or are windows in Linux always rectangular?

If you need only some parts transparent then use:
TWinControl.SetShape(AShape: TBitmap). If you need semi-transparent
forms then no - it is not implemented currently but feel free to
submit a patch to the bug-tracker.
