I know I posted more than one question on this issue, but ever-since the 32 bit graphics were invented, it keeps giving me headaches. So here's my latest question:
I created a very very simple application, which consists in a translucent form with some text and images on it (labels, pictureboxes). The way i did it: just set the form's opacity to a value lower than 100%.
How can I display parts of the form with the given opacity, while others are 100% opaque? In other words, how can I get my text and images to be COMPLETELY opaque, while the form is still translucent? Is this even possible in .NET?
Please note the idea came from the interface of Stardock's DesktopX (but I guess that's made in C++), which did exactly this thing. Any ideas?
