I found that solution:
Set your form's borderstyle to bsNone.
Put an Image on it
Load a Picture of non rectangular shape into it at Designtime.
Set Transparent of that Image as True.
OnCreate of the Form set the Form's Brush.Style to bsClear.

Delphi 7 has a TransparentColor property for forms so just do as Heinrigh
said but instead of setting the image to transp just set the forms transp
color to a color in the image that u want making clear and set transparency
to true for the form also.
U could also just use the forms color(change it to lime or something
obscure) as the transparency color then place a panel on the form or a shape
or what ever u want.

In this way the form is still rectangular, only you don't see it. To make a
form that really has a non-rectangular shape you need to use SetWindowRgn.

no u dont, if u put an image on it thats any shape u want and the area u
want to be transparent is all one solid colour, usually lime or something
thats unlikely to be used anywhere else in the image u can make a form any
shape u want. I know what u mean that technically its still rectancular but
u cant click outside the solid area so its effectivly the shape of the
image.

Please excuse my intrusion,
anyone can solve a dubt ?
It seems that in transparent forms (transparent images)
only 24 bits bitmaps are accepted (not 256 colors Bmp), otherwise the result
is
a black/white distorted image; is it so ?
Thank you in advance & regards,
Giovanni.
