I'm trying to get something very subtle to work, it looks pretty awful right now. I'm trying to paint the background of a TGroupBox which I have overloaded the paint function of so that the corners are show through to their parent object. I've got a bunch of nested group boxes that look very decent without XPThemes.
Is there a way to paint part of a background transparent at runtime. I'm programming the form generator, not using Delphi design view.
