Title Body

I wanted to make my windows form transparent so removed the borders, controls and everything leaving only the forms box, then I tried to the BackColor and TransparencyKey to transparent but it didnt work out as BackColor would not accept transparent color. After searching around I found this at msdn: SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true); SetStyle(ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, true); SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true); this.BackColor = Color.Transparent; this.TransparencyKey = BackColor; Unhappyly it did not work either. I still get the grey or any other selected color background. All I wanted to do is to have the windows form transparent so I could use a background image that would act as if it was my windows form. I searched around here and saw many topics in regards opacity which is not what I am looking for and also saw some in regards this method I was trying but have not found an answer yet. Hope anyone can light my path. UPDATE: image removed as problem is solved
