 TwiaTile Component     Version 2.01
====================

  Introduction
  ------------

This is a simple component which tiles a bitmap in three different manners:
(a) It can simply tile it (tmNormal mode).
(b) It can tile it transparently (tmTransparent mode).
(c) It can tile it in a bi-colour faded fashion, like Internet Explorer 3's toolbar (tmFaded mode).

  The important properties are:
  -----------------------------

(a) Image (TBitmap) ---  Err, well, believe it or not, that's the image to display.
(b) TileMode (TwiaTileMode) --- how to tile it. Can be either tmFaded, tmTransparent, or tmNormal. These are described above.
(c) Well that's about it actually. The others (except two) are standard Borland ones.


  Upgrade Note
  ------------

Two properties have been left in, to allow for backwards compatability with previous versions of this component (Versions 1.00 and 2.00). They are "Transparent" and "Faded". These two have been merged into the one TileMode, described above. If you have never used this component before, go ahead and comment out the first line in WIATILE.PAS. If you have upgraded, keep the top line in until you have opened all your projects and their forms using this component, and THEN comment the line out.

What happens is that when you save your project, instead of saving the Transparent and Faded properties back to your DFM, it just saves TileMode.
