>Looks like a bug ... it doesn't work in VS 2005 the same as it works in VS 2003. Any other image seems to work just fine, but if I use a transparent image, it doesn't work, whereas it *did* work in VS 2003.

By curiosity, what makes a transparent image to be used instead of the back color? Because, if both are set, which one has priority? The reason I am asking is that I haven't found a way to disable the back color. Also, trying to set back color to transparent always generate a message that it can't be set.
