if you want to have your form transparent like with some gaming windows such as the WoW updater or something
you do this:
Form1 Properties -> Transparency Key = Control
Form1 Properties -> BackColor = Control
BackColor and Transparency key must be the same ;) or you wont have a transparent form :)

Yeah can do it like this also!

But i created one media player, But i want to add PictureBox over media player with transparent backcolor

But if i select BackColor = Transparent it will shows color of Form`s BackColor, I want to make 100% transparent BackColor!

Tell me if anyone knows!
