Description:
Grade of transparency
of the panel during runtime (alpha blending). This feature assigns a grade
of transparency to the whole Panel including its objects (buttons and
webs and all other objects placed on the panel will be transparent as
well).
Important
note: this feature does only work on
Windows XP and 2000, as they offer the alpha channel for this purpose.
On other operating systems, applications will have a normal graphical
appearance - the feature will simply be disabled.
Where it works, this feature uses a completely different method of graphics
display and handling, which consumes a lot of system resources. System
performance may be significantly slowed down, especially when the application
is resized. This is caused by the alpha handling of the operating system
in combination with the many graphics operations during resizing.
