[Lazarus] Transparent Forms

[Dave Coventry]

I;m using:

Form1.AlphaBlendValue := 100
Form1.AlphaBlend := True;

to make my form transparent.

Trouble is, everything on the form is also transparent.

Is it possible to set up so that elements on the form (such as a line
drawn on the Fom's canvas or a panel on the Form) are not transparent?

I'm using Lazarus 0.9.31 r29684 FPC 2.4.0 i386-linux-gtk 2
