Working on the image drawing in LCL, not only for OS4 but for all, the problem is that it needs (semi-)transparent drawing. I started with Picasso96 for OS4 but it seems it still has no Alpha channel support. But luckily it also supports the cybergraphics compatible layer with the alpha channel support. So I changed everything in LCL back to cybergraphics, which is even much better, because now it’s the same for all platforms.
 
On this occasion the problem on MorphOS came to light. I always had the problem that at MorphOS the images are not shown. I thought it is a problem with resources but now it became clear, it’s the drawing the globalalpha value was too small.
 
Sadly the cybergraphics on classic AmigaOS does not support this Alphachannel, thats the reason the image has the black border in the screenshot. Maybe one could try to make a simple Alpha (0/1) by hand, which will be very slow I guess.
 
Besides I found a big Event problem. Got this as bug report already, it was just a not initialized variable. A little bit more testing and I will make a release and also create a Virtual Lazarus again with all 4 platforms :-).
