What i want to do it take an animated image i made, i can convert it to any format so don't worry about that, and have it be my form background, but it must be transparent. To clarify lets say i want to make a ball on my screen that is not in a form so no border or background of any kind, and i want it to bounce (the animation like a gif). I want to do this so i can make a moving icon that stays above all other windows so my program can easily be accessed.
