How I eliminate black color except on the text?.

Code:

if f then f.Destroy() end

f = createForm()
f.setSize(700, 194)
f.Position = 'poScreenCenter'
f.BorderStyle = 'bsNone'
f.OnMouseDown = function() f.dragNow() end

image1 = createImage(f)
image1.setSize(600,200)
image1.Canvas.Font.Style = 'fsBold'
image1.Canvas.Font.Size = 36
image1.Canvas.Brush.Style = 1 --bsClear
image1.Canvas.Font.Color = 9145219
image1.Canvas.TextOut(40, 40, 'hi there, how are you?')
image1.Canvas.Brush.Style = 1 --bsClear
image1.Canvas.Font.Color = 0
image1.Canvas.TransparentColor = clBlack
image1.Canvas.Transparent = true
image1.Canvas.TextOut(37, 37, 'hi there, how are you?')

Different idea (but I haven't tried it in Panel)
I still couldn't like "Form.OnPaint".
After a while, the form will contract and slow down.

Code:

if f then f.Destroy() end

f = createForm()
--f.setSize(700, 194)
f.Position = 'poScreenCenter'
f.BorderStyle = 'bsNone'
f.OnMouseDown = function() f.dragNow() end

local l1=createLabel(f)
--l1.Alignment="taCenter"
--l1.AutoSize=false
--l1.Height=30 l1.Width=200
l1.Left=15 l1.Top=20 l1.Font.Size=20
l1.Font.Color="0xffff00" l1.Font.Style="fsBold"

local l2=createLabel(f)
l2.Left=35 l2.Top=60 l2.Font.Size=30
l2.Font.Color="0x00ff00" l2.Font.Style="fsBold"

function shadow(lbl, lcpt, shd)

--f.Canvas.Clear()
lbl.caption=lcpt
shd=tonumber(shd)
local lft=tonumber(lbl.Left)
local ltp=tonumber(lbl.Top)
f.Canvas.Alignment=lbl.Alignment
f.Canvas.AutoSize=lbl.AutoSize
f.Canvas.Font.Style=lbl.Font.Style
f.Canvas.Font.Size=lbl.Font.Size
f.Canvas.Height=lbl.Height
f.Canvas.Width=lbl.Width
f.Canvas.Brush.Style = 1 --bsClear
f.Canvas.Font.Color=9145219
f.Canvas.TextOut(lft + shd, ltp - shd, lcpt)
end

f.OnPaint=function()
shadow(l1, "Hello Word!", 3)
shadow(l2, "Cheat Engine", 4)
end

Thanks to try for the solution. Anyhow, if the drawn text is put on a function and use OnPaint event, I don't need to create any labels or components.
Just draw the text on the canvas directly.

Code:

if f then f.Destroy() end

f = createForm()
f.setSize(550, 194)
f.Position = 'poScreenCenter'

function shadowText(frm, txt, fntSize, shdCol, shdX, shdY, txtCol, txtX, txtY)
c = frm.Canvas
-- the shadow part
c.Brush.Style = 'bsClear'
c.Font.Size = fntSize
c.Font.Style = 'fsBold'
c.Font.Quality = 'fqAntialiased'
--c.Font.Orientation = 50
c.Font.Color = shdCol
c.TextOut(shdX, shdY, txt)

-- the front text part
--c.Font.Orientation = -50
c.Font.Color = txtCol
c.TextOut(txtX, txtY, txt)
end

f.OnPaint = function()
shadowText(f, 'hi there, how are you?', 36, 9145219, 35, 30, 0, 30, 28)
shadowText(f, 'This is Cheat Engine', 28, 9145219, 107, 107, 13464600, 110, 110)
end

What I try is using canvas image, as on first script.
