I am just starting out on my first FireMonkey app and was looking for a way to make a memo control have a transparent background. Any ideas? I need to place it over an image and I want to see the image below the text. It will only cover a small part of the image.

    Opacity won't work, it makes the entire control and all child controls invisible.

    Anders came to the rescue and suggested using a TText instead of a TMemo! That works perfect! Problem solved.

    Right click on memo and "Edit custom style". Expand memo1style1 and add a TLayout to replace "background", then move all the controls from "background" to the new TLayout. Remove "background" and rename the new TLayout as "background", then set it's Align property to alContents.
