An Illusion Of Transparency
Full Source
Price: Free

TImageEnMView does not support transparency which is a "show stopper" when creating an application that uses transparent panels placed on top of TImageEnView to hold various controls including ImageEnMView. Over the last several weeks I have searched extensivly for a thumbnail component that supports transparency for a clients application and was unable to find one. I also tried varous skinning components to achive transparency, but those attempts failed as well. After much thought and experimentation I was finally able to achive an illusion of transparency with TImageEnMView. I decided to release a free demo to show ImageEn Developers how this can be accomplished because I spent so much time and research trying to render TImageEnView "transparent".
