But you can do it without SkinManager, why you need to have it as a new property?
Because when I drop an alpha-blended image on a form, everywhere it has been alphablended is the same color as the transparentcolour property, therefore, it is not alphablended. <img src="style_emoticons//smile.gif” style=”vertical-align:middle” emoid=”:)” border=”0″ alt=”smile.gif” />
Have you seen JvTransparentForm component from Jedi project? It supports layered form, region and alphablended region transparency. It can also use an image from existing TImage control as a mask for alpha-transparency. The latest version is not yet released but already available in the trunk folder. It does work well.
However, it's not 100% compatible with AlphaSkins (yet). I'm interested in full support or something similar in the AlphaControls package.

The problem exists because this form is hooked automatically I think. Try to change the Tag property to -98. If problem will not be solved please give me a demo, I have installed this component, but don't know how to use that.
