cxLabel whose Transparent property is set to True is painted with the black background on the Windows Aero Glass frame enabled via a form's GlassFrame property

created 6 years ago

TcxLabel has a black background on a Blurred Glass Form in Windows 10.

I have attached an sample project that has code for three different label components.  TLabel, TcxLabel, and TAeroLabel.  A compiler directive is used to include the TAeroLabel .

The PNG screen shot inside the ZIP file shows all three components and how they render over a black background and white background.  The only component that is correct is the TAeroLabel.  As you can see, the TLabel only shows up when over a darker area and disappears when over a white background.  TcxLabel has a solid black background

Is there something that can be done to the TcxLabel to allow it to work so that I don't need the additional component?

Note:  The zip file contains a compiled version with the TAeroLabel included should you need to see it running.  The source code has the link to the GitHub repository for the source code.
