Hi!

Its extremely hard to make form transparent without special programming or using special effect (that I know bad). But you can make a form with round edges or any shape form (even with round holes inside it which allow to click mouse "through" the form to select icons on desktop, for example ;). To do this, use API functions "Create*Rgn" and SetWindowRgn(). Note that it is wise to make form without title bar when using custom-shape form.

HTH.
