It is very simple to use, just drop it on a form of your project, and set the transparency property, rebuild it, you will see the form is transparent. If you want to add fade-in effect or fade-out effect, just add one line into FormCreate procedure or FormClose procedure.

begin
    TransparentSkin1..FadeInTo(20);
end;

procedure TForm1.FormClose(Sender: TObject);
begin
    TransparentSkin1..FadeOut;
end;
