Transparency on TImage and bring to front?

[Tony Stone]

I am trying to use a TImage object on my main form to display over all of the other components which are anchored to the form(panels,toolbar etc...).  But I cannot get the image to come to the front.

I am trying to display the made with Lazarus logo for about 5 seconds and I want it to fade away when my form initially loads.  I am getting the feeling I cannot make it fade away because i cant seem to find any tranparency options.  But I would be happy with skipping the fade away thing for now....  how can i bring it to the front of all components that are anchored to the form?

Put it on a panel or other container and bring that container to the front. Though that might mess up the other controls a little, depending on how they are anchored.

Alternatively, put it on its own "on-top" form, though that might not be easily faded-out on all platforms.

Sorry for not really answering the OP's question.

But if one wants to make simple but good looking image animation or transition effect, you can try glSlideshow. It is not a ready-to-use component but with some modifications it can be used in your project.

Or maybe a login screen with some simple effects:
