I thought this was working but without the transparency what I want to happen is not working.

I have a 2 labels overlaying a button. The top label has one text color then bottom is the default.

If I set the transparency to 0 I get the top label button in a custom section to work but if I change the button back color then the label back color overrides.

Of course setting transparency 100 fixes that but for some reason I lose the text color.

Issue still exists in: 12.16 lite

I was able to confirm that this issue has been resolved.

I forgot to add that I am using Delphi 10.1 Berlin with Alpha Controls Lite 12.14.

I got it to work making one change. The text would not change color if the transparency was set to 100 but when I changed it to 0 the color came through.

I assumed transparency only affected the background color. It appears to affect both background and text.

I am using Lite 12.14.

Ok, I got a project where it is not working as expected and sort of working as expected.

Before looking at this I should get from you the proper why of uninstalling and installing between trial and lite.

All I did was uninstall the package and then build the acnt*_R.dpk, acnt*.dpk and install. With trial in one folder and lite in the other.

Is there any clean up I should have done in between?

So I have screen shots of the output. The Trial 12.06 should what I expected in the Delphi IDE but when I ran it the font color was changed. It was overriden by another color in the skin.

I created a brand new skin, selected the default colors and created a new section.

I gave the new section a font color of bright green. It only should up in Trial 12.06 while working with the form. I used the section on a TsLabel.

I called the skin TEST and the section TEST2.

I don't have time right now but I'll make a note to create a project that demonstrates it.

I'll try to get it working with what you suggested.

I downloaded the project and rebuild it and was successful

You should be able to regsrv the test.dll and get the add-in to appear in Excel 32-bit.

The menu item testing2->Click Me! opens the skinned form.

My apologies.

I uploaded the wrong zip file.

I'll download it after I attached it confirm it is the right file.

Edit: testform.pas is there. that has the skin.

I have attached my test project.

I was gonna try and create a Excel Com object without add-in-express but I cannot find any documentation online on how to do it. I know enough about delphi to support legacy code and know when I need 3rd party controls to do the heavy lifting for me.
