Transparent :=True for StaticText needs something more to function?
or is malfunctioning?
win7 64bit /laz1.2.4

It works on Qt. But ParentColor must be True and Color = Parent.Color.

Quote  StaticText1.ParentColor:=True;
  StaticText1.Color:=Parent.Color;    the result is  SIGSEV as
expected
and this
QuoteStaticText1.Color:=StaticText1.Parent.Color; is not transparent

Sorry, it's not transparent here too, I just tried to put TStaticText
over TShape and it doesn't work (Qt and Wine). But I tried TLabel and
it's fine.

Off-topic: perhaps this is sufficient for transparency:
Code: [Select]POKE 53280,0:POKE 53281,0
Sorry could not resist...

Are you trying something "special" ?

By default, Transparent is already true for TStaticText; and it's
working here without any modifications for this control.

I mean, the color of the TStaticText child control is automatically
set to the color of its parent when you change the color of the parent
in the IDE (if transparent is set to true of course).

Capture - a static text over a form (blue) and a shape (white):

@ChrisF this is not true in my enviroment
the Statictext takes the color of the form
 to avoid upload a pic the staticktext remains blue over the white
object
if you are running also win7 64 with laz 1.2.4 is there an option i
should enable?

I guess  I've probably not understood what you mean (sorry), as I
can't reproduce it.

For instance, a new capture: a TStaticText over a form and a picture
(TImage) with Windows 7 64 bits and Lazarus 1.2.4 64 bits

BTW, do you have disabled Themes inside your version of Windows 7 ?
I'm not sure but I think there are some issues in this case...

your correct Themes  were disabled
restarted the service but the behaivor remains the same
is this property avaliable only with Themes enabled?

Apparently. If I disable Themes (i.e. service stopped), I'm getting
the same problem as your's (see capture).
