Set RichViewEdit1.Color = clFuchsia, then call

  SetWindowLong(Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE, GetWindowLong(Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE) or

WS_EX_LAYERED);

  SetLayeredWindowAttributes(Handle, clFuchsia, 0, LWA_COLORKEY);

(where Handle - handle of the form with RichViewEdit1)

Side effect: mouse clicking through the editor.

Must work in Win2000/XP
