Thanks again -- here is image of program. I'll put the link as well, in case it does not show up. And I think I'll try listing the code, although it may not turn out correctly displayed.

{There may be a problem at TinyPic - cutting off bottom of image.}
{{NO -- I think it's Firefox 2, check in Internet Explorer 7, and image is OK. Such is life.}}

Have
Form > Miscellaneous
AlphBlend > set to True
AlphaBlendValue > set to 230 (Usually 255)
FormStyle > fsStayOnTop
Visual > BorderIcons > set to biMaximize False
*Change Button text to Bold > does not appear to work? >> nor colour?
I used to have Componet > dsFancyButton ?? also, that makes great looking buttons.
(Put a credit for (Lord) Loren Soth major help in the exe version info.

Goes well with i8Spooky

In days gone by used ASPack to compress my exe's. Reduces size by about 50%.

** Interesting thing -- I took a screen capture with Irfanview, and it just captured behind the Form!
So, it was the invisable Form. Maybe capture can handle -- Alpha blend???

I changed the Forum Code from end brackets to () like you suggested.
Yes -- just found F1 Delphi help again.
*I couldn't get a scroll bar on the Edit3 (codecombine), but may not need.

XP crashed :evil: -- or FROZE while I was writing this -- had to reboot and drop my Net connection. Luckily Firefox 2 loaded all tabs again, and fortunately the message was still there!

Oh, oh, better recompile -- looks like I left 'huwStrutils' in.
