>This class makes only the form itself transparent. Objects stay opaque, so all you have to do is

>
>Drop the class on the form and name it oTrans
>in Thisform.init put this code:

>

>Thisform.oTrans.oFormRef = Thisform
>Thisform.oTrans.SetFormTransparent(Thisform)

>Set these Props

>Thisform.BackColor = RGB(254,254,254)
>Thisform.Borderstyle = 0
>Thisform.TitleBar = 0

>Then place some rounded shapes on it and have fun ;-)

>I could mail you the class, as its public domain. Its to big to place it here, though. But I'm sure, someone will be able to locate it in the UT download archive. Its called frmtrans.vcx
